Notes on Tumblr? No Comment?
Tumblr released the goods for their new notes feature this week. For those of you who don’t know what’s up — Notes on Tumblr are basically the fly meter for your posts (here’s an example). Notes can be two things:
1. A Reblog - When a Tumblr user takes your post and re-posts or reblogs on their site.
2. A Like - When a Tumblr user gives your post some “I heart this” props.
Basically the Notes feature is Tumblr’s comment killer. They’ve been cooking this feature up for awhile and to echo what they said back in the day, I think it has potential to be significant to the web. With that being said, I’m keeping comments on my site for now. I’m not ready to turn my back to them just yet.
Update: I have since removed comments on this blog. Oh and I started my own conversational marketing company, Conversated Media. #shamelessplug
