Tweet queuing service Buffer launches Chrome extension to integrate with Twitter.com

Interesting.

Just a while ago I was saying I needed something to queue up my tweets, but I didn’t know about Buffer. I gave it a shot just today and I have to say I’m really pleased.

It can connect to Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn about queue up posts which it will then publish throughout the day.

The one thing I’m a little dissatisfied with is that I can’t change when my tweets go out. Or maybe I just haven’t found the option yet.

And as a little suggestion I think they should add Tumblr to the profiles. Even though Tumblr has a queue you can easily arrange, it would be faster to do it all in one go, alongside Facebook and Twitter.

'Tumblr Is For Magical People': Teen's Viral Blog Explaining Social Media →

If you were to ask Laura, the 17-year-old behind the Tumblr account jamezmasjew.tumblr.com, to describe the different types of social media teens use, she would show you four animated GIFs she created and shared on Tumblr this month that got her over 200,000 re-blogs. And we’ll admit it: As self-proclaimed Tumblr addicts, we got a laugh out of them here at HuffPost Teen. Check out her post in the below slideshow and share your thoughts in the comments. We want to know: What image would you use to describe Pinterest?

Another one of our favorite, LOL-worthy takes on social media describes the different channels not as GIFs — but donuts. Check out the delicious, viral joke from Funny or Die here.

Myspace is for musical people

Twitter is for famous people

Or if you want you can read my article on Tumblr (from a while back) - Blog and Roll

Even if you’re not familiar with blogging service Tumblr, you’ve probably visited one of the 20 BILLION blog posts on the 50 MILLION blogs the company hosts.

But you may not realize that Tumblr is second only to Facebook in terms of engagement, with its visitors spending an average of 160 minutes on the site each month.

What exactly is Tumblr? It allows anyone to set up a free, simple blog. The idea is for users to be able to quickly post a variety of media—not just text, but also photos, video, and links to content from around the web.

When users come across something interesting online, they can click ‘Share on Tumblr’ for the content to show up on their blog.

And the term ‘Tumblr’ is actually overtaking the more generic ‘Blog’ term. According to Google Search results, people will search for the word ‘Tumblr’ on Google more often than they search for ‘blog’ before the end of 2012.

ComScore just revealed some new numbers about Tumblr’s growth—which reveal why it’s so valuable to investors. Tumblr drew 1.8 million unique visitors in March – that’s a million more than February, and over 2.5 times its visitors a year earlier.

And while Pinterest gets all the buzz for its growth, Tumblr is bigger, without the same copyright concerns.

The business model is nascent—it recently started allowing users to pay a dollar to promote a posting—but the potential seems hugs. Dozens of fashion, media, and publishing companies, from J. Crew, to Reuters, to NBC, post on the service. It allows them to communicate with fans and followers in simple and quick, but more nuanced way than Twitter.

And when it comes to the trend-setting generation, Tumblr could be starting to steal some of users time from Facebook. ComScore says Tumblr usage skews heavily to teens and college-age kids – the 12-24 year-old demographic. And its users tend to be affluent – almost 43 percent of Tumblr users have a household income of $75,000 or more.

Tumblr, which launched in 2007, has raised a total of $125 million in venture funding. As of last September it was valued at $800 million. Considering Instagram’s $1 billion price tag, Tumblr could be worth even more.
