I personally opened an account two months; I got hooked on the first day, it made the world even smaller, because I know what American people are wearing and what the latest trends up there in America are.The best part is that you can download free themes and design your tumblr page how you want it to look.

you can post pictures, music etc on your tumblr page.
 many companies are starting to see the use of Tumblr like fashion companies post their brands on their tumblr pages and celebrities also have tumblr pages, where you get a personal feel of their everyday life, celebs like Beyonce, Katy Perry to name a few have jumped on board, where beyonce constantly posts pictures of her vactions, backstage pictures.

i created 3 tumblr pages my portfolio for pictures i took gavinkos.tumblr.com, my general tumblr page gavinko.tumblr.com and a page i created for my model friend who uses it as her onlinr portfolio dareelb-jornal.tumblr.com. i suggests that everyone create a page now, you don't know what you missing.
