Tumblr Users• Most Tumblr users vary from the ages

between 15 to 25 and from both genders.• We use Tumblr not because it’s a great

way to connect with our readers, or because we believe this or something like it is a part of a new way forward for interaction between publishers and audience. We use Tumblr because it’s fun. I believe that there’s a value in doing things we like simply because we like to do them.

A quote of one of the Tumblr users

• Jenny: Tumblr is a place to host my blog, so in a sense it is a platform, but not in constructing an identity.  I already have an identity, which is on display with every post.

This is a simple quote to show you how Tumblr users feel about their blog, because it basically defines them.
