Does anyone else have to explain Tumblr to other people?

vela:

I’ve explained it at least 5 times this past month. I don’t know why I think it’s always going to go over really well. They all stop listening after I say “micro-blogging.”

I’m a pro at explaining Internet things but haven’t had to explain Tumblr yet to anyone. 18 months from now, if it continues to be popular, people will finally start asking me about it.
