We Are Thankful for Tumblr

Because we are so thankful for the wonderful blogging service and community that is Tumblr, this week we posed a simple question on our very own Tumblelog:

Thankfully, a bunch of our favorite Tumblrers responded to our plea -- with a surprising diversity of answers. Here are a few of our favorites.

Just like kaylacee, joyengel, and loonachic, Urlesque is thankful for the Tumblr community -- a group of seriously hilarious, talented and web-savvy folks on the web.
ciwi, realmustache, and craftyheathen all mentioned they loved using the web to KIT (that's 'keep in touch') with friends and family.
followingmichaelaround andthingsiwikipedia mentioned tools they use to learn new things, while mouthofmadness said "other people's creativity/stupidity" and snapalicious said "nerdy kids on uTube" -- VALID!
Maybe you take this for granted but kiyoshimartinez and elizs reminded us to be thankful that the internet is 99% free!
And it wouldn't be internet if someone didn't mention cats. Luckily, quite of our friends did and are thankful for everything from Keyboard Cat (twiffidy, matt-t) to Caturday (sosexyoutofcontext).

Since not all things on the web come with rainbows and hugs, we've got our "thankfuls" that come in the form of some good ol' fashioned web snark.

valeriek smartly responded, "The "hide" feature on Facebook."<
