Simplicity is a good thing for the rest of the world and Tumblr's ease-of-use is a big advantage. The admin interface is also simple and intuitive, yet contains a growing number of features and tools. This post did seema bit gushing, but Tumblr is, IMHO, worth a rare gush or two. If you haven't used this service, then check it out. You'll be adding links and content in no time. @26 - I'm importing similar feeds to my site, Jeremy. I love this particular feature!

By comparison it's pretty rare for someone like Walt Mossberg to use those kind of superlatives. Comment2) Is the barrier to entry for competitors as low as it seems? I'm not even close to a blogging expert, but it's not obvious what they have that would take 2 good coders longer than a month to copy. Not to say I don't respect good design, simplicity, and the magic that is the ability to build momentum with a good service, these often can't be achieved in any amount of time.

I have a lot more faith that a company with multiple strings of revenue and attention is going to remain viable compared to a company that develops one product and calls that product a business. Who cares if the things Davidville does have been done before? Execution (which includes marketing) is significantly more important then being "the first kid on the block with a red bicycle."
