Is a good invention, it serves a purpose. Tumblr, another very good invention. Personally I prefer tumblr. I don’t think the two should be confused. The thing that makes tumblr interesting is the ability to put up posts in different forms…videos, photos, quotes and the like. It’s not for posting boring sentences. For example.

Looks like this snow is going to melt quicker than it came. At least it’s an excuse to be late for school. I can’t believe school is back in my life for another year. The sooner these exams are over, the sooner I can chill OUT.
