The other thing that irks me about the Tumblr backup app is that is is just that, a “backup” and not a way to export your blog in any way that another blogging platform would be able to import it. It still doesn’t solve the problem of what is practically a data lock in. Sure, I can go through every file and copy and paste into another blogging platform, but with anything more than a trivial number of posts, the time this would take become prohibitive, and given the ease of publishing on Tumblr, it is likely that most people will have more than a trivial number of posts. |

Tumblelogs have two key features that help users create an enormous backlog of posts in a very short time – “notes” and “reblog”. Through the latter button, users can simple click and reblog content found on another user’s site. This is one of the things that has made Tumblr such a hit among the masses, it is also one of the reasons that it is not in Google’s good graces. Search engines like Google use two key factors when creating rankings for searched sites: content and backlinks. Since Tumblr makes it so easy to copy content found on other blogs, it takes a lot more effort of on the part of a Tumblelogger to achieve a high ranking in results … because reblogging can easily become a duplicate content nightmare. |
