My ID ANUP4002 is really Nice. I love my ID. I know my name is Anup Sabat. But somehow I feel that when my name and a number come together it becomes more of a powerful entity. I mean only name is something which is so traditional. Combination of a number will make it a combination of letters and numerals and I feel it gives a sort of power kind of a license and I am able to carry on with it in the internet without any fear. With only the name I feel like a 'hangover' it means that I am carrying a feeling of 'past' with me. But with the name+number ID, I am able to chart a new future so as to speak.

After getting rid of all interracial stuff which I had downloaded during 2008-09 in early 2011, I was away from that. Until I came across the same in Tumblr. Yes people, though I got rid of Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, Orkut, etc., I was still into tumblr.
I mean I got into Tumblr after I got into Facebook. It was only after I got my Galaxy Tab that I used the apps and probably stumbled on Tumblr. Speaking of stumbled I also found out about stumbleupon.
Recently I also deleted my stumbleupon account. But tumblr was still there.
I knew how tumblr worked. It worked like a 'newsfeed' where endless scrolling was possible. Recently yahoo also made its news like an 'endless scrolling one'.
Initially I did not like tumblr. The images just kept loading below and below. But my account was there alright. I never touched it. But after I deleted stumbleupon account, I checked what all app I had on my phone and did a cleanup. Then I came to re-use tumblr.
In a sense, I rediscovered tumblr. Recently I also got a mail from tumblr that I completed 2 years in tumblr. But I was not using it much. It was until about two months ago when I began to use it to a max level.
All you needed to do was just "Follow" people and you get all the feed from them. And the best thing about tumblr according to me is that, there is loads of 'uncensored' content.
Trust me people I feel that 'censorship is crap and should be scrapped'. The explicit content in tumblr makes a ' free medium' not like Facebook where we have to 'hide everything'.
But too much of freedom has its demerits. You can know that when you use tumblr. It you follow 5-15 people it is okay but if it becomes 150 to 200, then your feed what is known as "Dashboard" becomes really huge and every second several images would be getting added. It will be too much information overload and you may crash. Computer may not crash but you may crash.
And in a craze I began to follow the 'interracial blogs'. Soon I found several interracial features dominating the dash. It resulted in tension in me and that was too much for the mind and the body. So I deleted my account. And I found that a tumblr account gets deleted instantly and not like stumbleupon or Facebook which takes a month.
But then I missed other blogs which was there in tumblr. Certainly not all blogs are purely explicit. Several are of intellectual value as well. Thus if the content is 'intellectual' and not 'merely titillating' it is worth to be followed according to me. So I reopened one account and this time I used anup4002 and not Anup Sabat as the user ID. And the account lasted.
But I did something else as well. To not have explicit content dominating on my dashboard, I used my hotmail account and gmail account and created two more separate ID's in tumblr. And I used to access tumblr through three separate windows, one for yahoo one for gmail and other for hotmail.
But the problem was still there. You were still spending a lot of time accessing the contents in three separate windows. And my genuine Yahoo ID was remaining unutilised. So today morning I decided and deleted, two ID's I created and now have only 1 ID in tumblr. Use it judiciously, use it well, that is the way to use tumblr. I had said that Twitter is Time Waste. Same can be made applicable to any thing one does. It includes tumblr.
Somehow I do not feel like leaving tumblr completely. It has got it merits when used properly.
