Tumblr is a free social networking platform used for microblogging and sharing various media content. Users can share videos, photos, music, quotes (as well as longer texts), and much more.
The platform also allows you to network and meet others by suggesting pages with similar posts. Suggested pages are displayed on your dashboard along with the latest content of those you follow.

The site also allows you to customize your personal page by changing the title and layout as well as adding music, for example.
