What is Tumblr? Info around the social network

The social network Tumblr is not so well known in Germany, although the platform includes over 500 million blogs from a wide variety of users and topics. Only about 4 percent of its users are from Germany. The U.S. user share, on the other hand, is about 36 percent.

What's behind Tumblr

On the Tumblr social network, users can blog themselves. Life stories, funny photos, music genres, FanFictions, self-made art - simply everything is thematically conceivable. As a user, you can post text, videos, images and audio files on your Tumblr blog. You can also quote other posts for your own blog. Texting and running a good blog is a lot of work. Of course, as a Tumblr user, you are under no obligation to do so. Instead, you can follow other users and browse their blog posts or chat with them. If you don't know exactly how to find other blogs or what to search for, for example, you can search with hashtags, which are well-known from Twitter and are also used on Tumblr.

• On Tumblr you can find over 180 billion posts on nearly 500 million blogs.
