Creation vs. Consumption

Does Tumblr encourage consumption or creation of content? Is re-blogging creation?

Since I switched from (my hosted) Wordpress to Tumblr, I’ve noticed a few things:

  1. I’ve spent a lot less time - i.e. none - updating the software
  2. I’ve spent even less time blogging than I used to
  3. My information consumption has increased

#1 was intended, #2 is disappointing, and #3 was inevitable.

Time for another re-think, because I really want to be getting more out of this than just seeing lots of nice pictures…
