I have no idea what anyone thinks about matters like those outside the HN hivemind. How do you?

I started using Tumblr to jot down my notes because it looked cool and simple. To my regret, a couple times I found new "social" features on my dashboard, but that's it. I was actually afraid that this hobby project will fade away and shut down, unneeded. I was surprised to find it is not so!

Thought this too, until I moved in with two professional (that is, paid) bloggers in NYC. Apparently, there's quite an ecosystem of tumblr "publishers" who care deeply about their tumblr follower numbers, etc.
