So if you ever thought about following Tumblr via RSS…
Every Tumblr has an RSS feed.
Just throw /rss at the end. For example: http://funsizebytes.com/ becomes http://funsizebytes.com/rss
You could then import them all into Google Reader.
Why?
Biggest Advantage IMO: You could read them oldest to newest rather than newest first.
Because then you could know how many posts you’d missed, you could sort them by person or by date.
You could do that.
But don’t.
Why?
Because Google reader and Tumblr don’t get along well, or didn’t for me… I ended up re-reading a bunch of the same posts (not reblogs) so it actually took longer to read, and was more frustrating (obviously hearts and reblogs were harder too).
FWIW.
I subscribe to several Tumblrs via RSS, including TJ’s, but I use Outlook’s RSS integration, which seems to work quite well. (The only time I ever use Outlook is at work, because it’s my only option.) My main reason for doing so is because my only real chance to read some of you guys is during the M-F, 8-5 grind, and some of you post some great stuff during the evenings and weekends.
I agree it can be frustrating, though. Sometimes, I’ll think of something to say with a reblog, but don’t, because I feel like I’m jumping in the conversation way too late.
