AC Has a Tumblr...What now?

by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Sep 4, 2010 11:32 AM PDT

I won't pretend I understand what it is, but for all intents and purposes, we have a Tumblr. If you have one, follow us (or friend us??? not sure), then maybe I can look at your page and figure out what I'm supposed to do.

I uploaded a new Conditioning Camp video, but I really don't know what else I can do to take advantage of the platform. I already fail to use Twitter very effectively. Honestly, Tumblr seems like it's designed for pretentious hipsters (and is therefore right up my alley), so I think I'm going to post really really really obscure Ducks quotes until I figure this thing out.

Suggestions, if you have any, are welcome in the comments.

See? I’m not the only one.

In all honesty, I’ve followed a few tumblr pages for about a year now, but they’re all accounts for people not sites. Some SBN people have claimed their site names, but I don’t think they use theirs.

Tumblr is twitter for hipsters.

Anyway, I have a Tumblr, so I may follow once it gets going.

well, you’re now being followed, he said in the least creepiest voice he could manage while talking to another man on the Internet. If I can figure out how to get the hockey equivalent of those Lobster Zone arcade pics you have, we should be set :)

Haha, sweet.

Fair warning, though, my Tumblr isn’t necessarily hockey-related so you may see typical Tumblr stuff or me expressing opinions, which I try not to do on SB Nation. “Please don’t hate me” is what I’m trying to say.

I dunno… Having a Tumblr for a blog seems kind of… pointless.

early uses I see are posting things that I might be reticent to post here. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t think we’re overflowing with credibility, but if anyone was interested to see what an argument between me and Daniel ACTUALLY looks like, I can post it there as a chat with all the “fuck you, dodger fan”s maintained for posterity.

I remember people once thought Twitter was pointless if you already had a blog or a facebook “what are you doing now” addiction. I guess SBN blogs have been reserving their names on tumblr. in case it, too, becomes a valuable outlet. Already, with them accepting direct video uploads, but not offering embeds, I see an advantage to putting our video content there instead of routing it here through YouTube. It’s all theoretical for me, but I’m accepting suggestions from more seasoned social media users.
