Social Media: Tumblr
Posted on November 15th, 2011
Tumblr is a fairly new form of social media and style of blogging. It is mainly used by younger internet users and works with user-generated material. Each member receives their own page and can post pictures words, videos and links to it, although generally only pictures are posted, creating a form of ‘mood board’. Recently, businesses and brands such as Topshop have seen this as a way of marketing to their younger audience, and have created their own Tumblr pages. Tumblr is easy to format, with the ability to use user generated ‘themes’ or layouts.
Terms: Change your theme to alter the way your page looks. Reblog other users’ content to your page and like posts you enjoy. Follow other users and gain followers.
