I've been wondering for a while why I don't really get on with tumblr. I look at it occasionally, mostly for the photos, but I haven't warmed to it. Part of the issue is that it's really hard to find anything, but I think the key is the lack of interactivity - all you can do is pass things on with comment, but you don't get a dialogue going.
And I end up finding it frustrating.
There's a special kind of frustrating when you can see someone talking bollocks, and it getting approvingly forwarded on - I mean, when they're saying something which is demonstrably untrue/ the result of completely misunderstanding a situation (largely because you're feeding it through your own prejudice).
Take this tumblr entry (which I saw via someone on my flist, or whatever you call it, reblogging it), on the "Confession" iPhone app, which the US RC church approved as an aid to the penitent. The post is based on an entirely false - factually false - premise ( And the rest is going under a cut, because most of you probably don't care that much about the issue )
