Apple Thoughts - News & Reviews on all things Apple

"If you're a Tumblr user, you probably noticed the massive outage it endured this weekend, and you're probably having one of those "what if I'd lost everything" moments. Here's how to back up your Tumblr to save yourself from such distress."

If you use Tumblr then you probably were a bit stressed out during the outage so if you aren't already, it might be a good time to get this handy program to make sure all of your files are backed up. You can download this Mac only program here at the Tumblr blog. I'm betting they got a lot of interest in this after last weekend.

"As a midpoint between a blog and micro-blog, Tumblr is a concept that's slowly catching on. I personally don't manage a "tumblog", but I know many who do. The concept of having a no hassles, no formatting, automatic blog is appealing."

There are several apps available for use with Tumblr, but this is the "official" one and available now in the iTunes App Store. I admit I haven't used Tumblr all that much, although I do have an account and it is tied to my Twitter account, but this new app might make me change my mind. The variety of types of posts you can make with it is handy and it is very simple to use. Best of all it is free.
