Being able to blog your favorite photos, videos, quotes, songs, links, thoughts and conversations with ease is perhaps the principal reason Tumblr has experienced such positive reception throughout the online community. Since its launch 4 years and 11 months ago, the popular microblogging platform has taken the Internet by storm, causing many top brands to gradually integrate Tumblr into their social media repertoire.

Of course, the fact that Tumblr offers all of its nifty features for free — well, that certainly helps. According to the “Why Everyone Loves Tumblr” page on the site, using the popular microblogging platform, brands, and Tumbleloggers alike, can:
- Choose from a variety of different themes (that are also customizable)
- Create unique themes, exclusive to the brand/blogger
- Post from mobile phones
- Create custom domains
- Make blog or posts private
- Post high resolution photos
- Set up Google Analytics
- Keep Tumblr free of advertisements
- Automatically Tweet posts on Twitter or publish posts on Facebook
- Post under a copyright (Thank you, Tumblr)
- Use the post queue feature
