1)    I have learned that Tumblr was made for Journals specifically and it started with a staff of just two people!

2)    From De Rosa’s perspective, I have learned that if I want to gain my own audience by using Tumblr, then the first thing that I should gain is the appreciation and loyalty of the Tumblr’s audience, otherwise they may feel like I have only joined Tumblr to promote my other websites.

1. I learned that only 10% of Tumblr users use tags which is really weird and a shock to me due to Tumblr being one of the most used social media platforms.

2.  Posting multimedia content on Tumblr is easier than the other media networks.

Tumblr has been called “the Lost and Found Department of the entire Internet” (salon.com). This is a poetic way of saying that content on Tumblr is so diverse yet unique harbouring something new for everyone.

MP3s uploaded to Tumblr cannot surpass 10MB and only one audio upload is allowed per day. A maximum of 5 minutes worth of videos at 100MB can be uploaded per day.

Tumblr experienced 42.1 hours of downtime in 2011.

1) Tumblr was established in 2007.

2) Tumblr is described as a micro-blogging platform.

1) media organizations, like the NYTimes and Al Jazeera, have recently been using Tumblr. 

2) to build brand loyalty on Tumblr, bloggers must pay and give more attention to readers in order to start meaningful conversation and posting something relatable with personal touches helps achieve that 

3) Tumblr is a microblogging website that handles 40 million posts a day. the audience is mostly college educated and around the ages of 18-24 

4) Tumblr users are offered many different post options like, simple quotes, videos, pictures, audios..etc and all of this includes the option of adding titles, captions to explain, and hashtags.
