Why I do not use Tumblr Anymore Rant

When I first came across Tumblr I thought it was a great microblogging  platform and wanted to keep a miniblog on tumblr I even host my own tumblr and have shown in an earlier post how to place Adsense  on Tumblr but, As microblogging posting goes you just want to post your thoughts or a link to a good blog post and get it over and done with in a few short words and not go into great detail on microblogs.

But the tumbler dashboard is much too slow and I think there could be one possible explanation why tumblr takes so long to load.This is because the only way to have comments on your tumblr blog is to use the Disqus commenting system which is well known to go down often, When Disqus goes down and comments fail to load it will take Tumbr down with it because my tumblr blog is requesting disquss and because they are down my tumblr blog fails to load quickly.

So that the only reason I do not use Tumblr anymore.I know this is just a rant and it would have been better suited on my tumblelog but as the tumblr dashboad will not load quick enough I have chosen to publish this rant on my blog.So to the people who own Tumblr and Disqus could you please speed up your services and then I will start using them again.
