This is fascinating

It's like...BLOGGING blogging. Tumblr is what happens when every form of social media interaction build a city together. You can explore it forever, find niche shops and wild clubs and cliquish parties, stay an anonymous people-watcher forever or put yourself out there and find best friends for life. The crowds are always shifting; you don't know who you'll run into, who's watching you, who'll jump in on your conversation--you could get lucky or very unlucky. It's an endless metropolis.

This feels more like a college campus. We know who's here, more or less, and who’s in our clubs and classes, and where to find the literary arguments and the theater kids' hangouts, and we're sitting around each others' dorm rooms, talking about our feelings and the things we like. I like it.

I think there's a little more responsibility on both DW and PF about your content. Where it goes and who sees it is more under your control because of lack of reblogs.
But that also means if you post something terrible you can't blame it on being a reblog. It's your content. So it's more personal.
