Tumbled into…

July 3, 2008 · 1 Comment

I got pulled, kicking and screaming, into yet another web2.0 app.  This one is called Tumblr, which as far as I can tell serves as shorthand to blogging (or conversely, is a juiced-up version of Twitter).  I really don’t need another blog platform; so I want to know:

1. Who’s on Tumblr?  How are you using it?

2. What’s the best way to leverage this tool?

This conversation thread discovered at the Citizen-Times, in response to an article about Obama meeting privately with evangelical faith leaders. Notice the lumping together in the 2nd response of “religious leaders,” and to whom we bend our knee:

George P. Wood at AG Think Tank asked for some feedback on the AG General Council’s interest in drumming up support for our four core doctrines: Salvation, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, Divine Healing, and the Rapture of the Saints.

I offered my two cents (and about a dollar more thrown in for good measure) here.
