Tumblr Helps You Find Wacky Photos Faster, Meet Your Neighbors

NYC-based “microblogging” service Tumblr just rolled out a new version of its site this week. Included in the update: A new design for the back-end “dashboard,” where users prepare Tumblr posts and read others’ tumblelogs, and a basic search function.

But it’s also just rolled out a handful of new discovery tools, which both Tumblr users and Tumblr window shoppers can use to find interesting/neat tumblelogs worth looking at.

The

tumblr.com/explore">new “explore” features include displaying Tumblrs by the music they embed in their posts, the color of photos they’ve recently posted, and our two favorites: A focus on popular, often wacky photos (above), and the “Tumblverse,” a Google Maps-powered display of Tumblelogs near us (screenshot below). A great way to figure out how weird our neighbors are before meeting them. (And a reminder of how popular the service is in Manhattan and Brooklyn.)

We’re still waiting for Tumblr to start rolling out “pro” features — its first revenue stream.
