Tumblr has become an extremely popular micro blogging platform. It is free, and users can easily personalize their blog with an elegant Tumblr theme. Today Tumblr or tumblr. has more than 77 million blogs and the number is growing fast.
What makes Tumblr so popular? Well for starters it is very easy to use. You can begin right away, and you do not need any tech-skills. Also with Tumblr you can easily share your thoughts, ideas and pictures in short posts called Tumblelog. It is a useful platform for people who cannot decide between a regular blog and twitter.

It is a micro blogging platform that allows you to post text, images, videos, links, quotes and audio to your tumblelog with ease.
