A chance to try a couple of new blogging sites. I had come across
tumblr before (excuse to use an image of tumbling water - it was that or a glass tumbler!) from reading other blogs but never posterous. I set up a test site on tumblr and it was very easy to do once you picked a URL name that no-one else had used. It is a bit like when you are trying to set up a free email account and you work your way through every combination of name, nickname and dates that seem possible but someone else got there first!
I need to spend more time trying out the themes and posting something but it does seem an easy site to use.
As for Posterous, it is an example of the changing landscape of social networking. Just since the blog back in August it has now become "Posterous Spaces" and is focussing on being a social network site and not just a blog site. Definitely useful for group and I may try setting up something for the book group I am in.
