Things I hope are coming to tumblr
I really don’t follow that many people, but many of them are tumbling (Word? Yes? No? Moving on…) a couple times a day. Now unless I’ve constantly got tumblr open and am refreshing twice an hour, this creates quite the backlog of entries for me to sort through whenever I get around to checking it out.
Now I know this isn’t an issue unique to Tumblr, I have the same thing now with Twitter, and my personal experience with it goes all the way back to my Livejournal days. What I would love to see though is an easier way to sort through that amount of information. I follow a lot of really smart people, and sometimes I actually am interested in everything they have to say.
Sometimes not, but I digress.
So it’s the basic problem of any feed based or information based tool, how to filter and sort through that barrage of info. Perhaps it’s more filter settings, or customizable filters (sometimes I want everyone, sometimes just my clients, sometimes just things that have been reblogged, etc.) I don’t know what the answer is, I’m just hoping that someone who’s making Tumblr can help me sort it out.
Because let’s face it, there’s no use in having such interesting tools with which to share specific information, if it all becomes static and noise.
