Bye Bye Tumblr
As astonishing as this might seem, I’ve completely deleted all my entries from my archive.
I did it with a script I made. You can find the script here, and the explanation of how I did it here.
Why? Simple, most tumblelogs deliver too much content noise.
But don’t take this to the wrong judgment, there are impressive, well structured, and serious tumblelogs out there. It’s a shame that I just recently discovered real tumblelogs dedicated to an specific theme, and not teenage desires mixed with material consumption based happiness.
Tumblr as a whole is a great application to quickly publish content with a depth of detail, but thanks to the wave of users who transgress from the specific purpose of a web application, you find services like Tumblr slowly converted into the next web 2.0 sensation. Web 2.0 is not bad, what is bad is the digression of the user from the real purpose of an application. The current state of the Net has sufficient social networking applications. Therefore, the next time a Web 2.0 application appears, remember that just like a software application, a web application has an specific purpose. Tumblr is not the only one that suffers from such acts, you can find Web designers writing code and sharing it via *Facebook*. I’m not against people communicating and sharing ideas, I’m against unordered and disorganized content.
“So no more Wu-Tang hip-hop related content from you?”, Yes, indeed.
So that means, I won’t hang-out or even login here anymore, just keeping the account as a placeholder.
I’m human, people change, and also take on other activities. So I might comeback, maybe at a moment when Tumblr returns to its early days, and Facebook has completely conglomerate every social web app there is into one unique social web app. But then again, isn’t this the main goal of Facebook?
If you care so much about what I do, listen, or just care to check what I’m doing. Go to my real blog, my last.fm profile, find me in Flickr, and if you do code, follow me in github.
