Opted out of Tumblr

I tried Tumblr for a short time.  Just deleted my own account.  I just don’t get some of it.  Great to create content, as they say, but what about finding it and valuing it.  I don’t want to follow a ton of people just to hope to happen upon something interesting.  Searching for tags?  Too limiting.  A glaring omission is that blog posts don’t show the date.  That diminishes the value.  Re-blogging, like Twitter re-tweeting, seems like something useful at first, but it’s a crude way to build reputation and promote an idea.  I prefer other ranking methods.  Overall, I don’t get it.  My guess is that it appeals to a crowd who more like posting than understanding what others say.  Probably the same people who talk a lot and are not good listeners.
