Tumblr. At first glance, it looks like a reputable service. The weekend maniacal deletion of several hundred newly created blogs proves otherwise.
With a sleek design and very streamlined interface, it’s quite appealing. But the business practices of Tumblr’s lead developer, Marco Arment leave a bad taste in my mouth and at this point, I will not recommend them nor use them.
To think my blog could be suspended at whim with no explanation – apparently AGAINST their own Terms of Service – is not a thought I care to explore.
Without a doubt, this practice is utterly wrong, rude, and hypocritical.
In fact, their TOS clearly state that if there is a problem with your blog, they will advise you via email and give you 72 hours to correct the issues.
Apparently those are just empty words. Empty words that are a front for a horrid business practice, one that clearly shows they will do whatever strikes them at the moment regardless as to what is right or moral.
The bottom line – stay away from Tumblr. They’ve obviously shown they cannot be trusted.
