[proofofconcept]

There is no real logical alternative to Tumblr because what makes Tumblr Tumblr isn't just a set of features that define the blogging platform it offers, it's the larger community of users that has grown there. Even if there were an identical mirror of the service at tumbls.com right now, that unquantifiable "feel" that made tumblr uniquely appealing is going to be lost unless more or less the entire tumblr community migrated over simultaneously, which is impossible. edit: clarity
