What Tumblr Needs to Do
So after a week of playing with Tumblr - I’m 50/50 on going back to Wordpress. Wordpress interacts better with Facebook than Tumblr does and I think that will make or break people jumping on board. Here are a few thoughts on what needs to change:
Improved URL parsing - Tumblr is not seamless when it comes to posting URL links on Facebook. Instead of the nice hyperlink I would get when I...
