I was looking forward to seeing what came with the new incarnation of Tumblr that launched today, and I have to say that I'm really no more interested than I was the first time.
I can see the value in Tumblr for many folks - quick, easy posting of different media types in a clean and (seemingly) customizable format. There are still no comments, and this is a sticking point for me (but certainly not everybody). Sure, I only get a few now and again, but I still love the ability for readers to post relevant links and anecdotes. Additionally, I'm fairly comfortable with WordPress right now. I like the ability to use drafts, recognize multiple authors, and of course my beloved list of categories (and really, if I could see a list - not just auto-completing as I type - of tags I've used before, this wouldn't matter).
I'll probably keep playing with Tumblr just to see how usable it is...but between Twitter and this blog, it's difficult to see a compelling reason for me (personally) to use a "blogging lite" web app.
P.S. If you have Tumblr pointing to a sub-domain, is it possible to slap the Mint JS call in the HTML so your visits are tracked?
