My tumblarity is 41, and it’s an all-time high.


What’s odd is that I don’t feel that I’m part of the Tumbr community (i.e. I don’t quite get what’s so special about topherchris and why people talk about him). I’m just here to avoid social media douchebags that are all over twitter and facebook now.

It’s interesting that, for some reason, I do care about tumblarity. My guess is that it’s because I spent my childhood playing video games. This is a natural extension.

So stop bitching about tumblarity, it needs to evolve but it’s a good thing for n00bz.

This is the interesting thing about tumblarity for me. The integration of game mechanics into non-competitive (or at least arguably non-competitive) activities with blogging, drives behaviour in interesting ways. There’s a whole generation who grew up playing videogames, and I find myself asking regularly, what would happen if I attached a dynamic score to this?
