Tumblr needs to be a blog reader

alexbosworth:

I love tumblr’s model of ‘reblogging’ and ‘liking’ - but you can only reblog and like other tumblers posts, not any post from any blog.

This seems like a big oversight on tumblr’s part, why not let me reblog a techcrunch article?

Maybe they are trying to give tumblr a community feeling, I’m really not sure why they wouldn’t let me subscribe to follow arbitrary RSS feeds in addition to other tumblers.

You can go to tumblr.com/customize (from your dashboard) and in “Feeds” add as much as feeds as you want. They’ll appear in your dashboard, so you can republish them!
