Tumbling

Discovered a new site yesterday, via a link sent to me by my son, to a mini-blog engine called Tumblr. It's a blog genre I hadn't heard about known as a tumblelog or tlog. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some of the more sophisticated blog engines, but it's very clean and easy to use. It took me about ten minutes to get set up my account and put together several posts. There are some nice features, including the ability to create private groups whose members can post to one another, using the blog as a kind of shared workspace. Might be useful in certain classroom environments as well.
