I do Tumblr wrong...

...I mean, I don't -think- you're supposed to find an interesting person and scroll through their posts in reverse chron order, for hundreds of pages.

But I do.

It's seriously fascinating. With high-volume users, it's like a very weird kind of access to their stream of consciousness. With lower-volume people, it's like time-travel. And then you see a post reblogged from some new person who's interesting in a whole -new- way, and it's almost like the way browsing Wikipedia or TVTropes forks repeatedly into new lands of wonder...

(Also, the way attribution does(n't) work over there fascinates me.)

I don't even have an account, and I think that may be -increasing- my enjoyment of Tumblr?
