A Tumblelog is a variation of a blog. More like a scrapbook than a web journal. Confused? Check out these tumblelogs: Anarchaia or the Projectionist.
Tumblelogging is a STYLE of blogging—- a shorthand, stream of consciousness, mixed media, link-heavy way of communicating information and ideas. A Tumblelog’s appeal may lie in its unstructured approach—-an accommodation to the scanning, frenetic nature of much web surfing in general. We like Jason Koettke’s description:
A tumblelog is a quick and dirty stream of consciousness, a bit like a remaindered links style linklog but with more than just links. They remind me of an older style of blogging, back when people did sites by hand, before Movable Type made post titles all but mandatory, blog entries turned into short magazine articles, and posts belonged to a conversation distributed throughout the entire blogosphere. Robot Wisdom and Bifurcated Rivets are two older style weblogs that feel very much like these tumblelogs with minimal commentary, little cross-blog chatter, the barest whiff of a finished published work, almost pure editing…really just a way to quickly publish the “stuff” that you run across every day on the web. (quoted in wikipedia)
In the real estate blogos, we think only grow-a-brain has the characteristics of a tumblelog. Any others?

I like them. I had never before heard of a tunmbleblog but I like it. I see the resemblance to Grow-a-Brain but can not think of another RE blog that would be a tumbleblog.
Hi Maureen. Yes, they are interesting but they don’t seem to exist in the real estate community (except maybe grow-a-brain). Could it be they are not a good fit? Hmmm
