Lately Tumblr’s been getting lots of attention from name bloggers like Steve Rubel (who closed all his existing blogs and moved exclusively to Tumblr), Rick Sanchez, Dan Patterson, and my friend here in San Diego Mitch Wagner. So when I began an effort to simplify my blog life, I considered switching this blog to Tumblr and making it my primary platform like Steve and Mitch did.
In the end I decided not to, for an important practical reason: the data you enter on Tumblr is locked in. While there are some hacky third-party tools that purport to do it, Tumblr itself does not offer an official export feature which lets its users move their data to another platform should they choose to do so — via redwolf.newsvine.com
