@highville on twitter, Marc is a Roger Smith Super Star. The quote below was recently posted to his tumblr.com account and provides a bit of insight into his sensibilities.

It is a military notion to centralize communication tools so that everyone within an organization, community or ecosystem is operating within a similar structure. With many blog platforms to choose from, I believe that tumblr is the right fit to increase our community engagement. John Birdsong has written a very thorough explanation of the platform and its functionality which will be able to help you understand how this system really works.

What am I talking about?

Distribution!

In an effort to expand our internal communication, I look to have all of the participants within our broad community to utilize the same platform.

To look internally and think locally is the objective. The people on this list are members of the greater Roger Smith Community who interact with you on a daily basis. It is my goal to broaden our community engagement and open the flood gates to the potential of our team as a whole.

I encourage you to sign up and follow anyone you know in an effort to increase internal awareness of our online presence. If you have any concerns of questions, please don’t be too shy to ask. It is a sharing platform that will allow for media to spread efficiently within our network.

What can you expect? When Panman Productions began its relationship with the Roger Smith Hotel we engaged in a series of dailies which were quick snapshots of the the work that were engaged in at the moment. It is my goal to re-instate the daily notion and open the interactions to all members of the Roger Smith Community. Know that you can be a simple observer or an active participant in content distribution. If you have any question on how to engage in the process I am happy to help facilitate you interests.

Tumblr is a popular short form blogging service; it was founded by David Karp in 2008 and has grown since then to 3 million plus “publishers”. The number one reason to use tumblr as a blogging platform is that it’s really really simple, like even my cat could use it.

Here’s what Tumblr has to say about Tumblr…

“Tumblr lets you effortlessly share anything. Post text, photos, quotes, links, music, and videos, from your browser, phone, desktop, email, or wherever you happen to be. You can customize everything, from colors, to your theme’s HTML.”

Get started. Register as a user. Tumblr’s registration should be a model for all. It takes thirty seconds and skips on asking your blood type and your mother’s maiden name. Easy.

Once you’ve registered you’ll want to name your Tumblelog. If you change your mind you can change the name later. Tumblr uses a dashboard setup, and if you’re familiar with wordpress you’ll either find it’s simplicity refreshing or leaving you wanting more.

Tumblr will allow you to post a picture, text, video, link, or song from your desktop or mobile. It will also syndicate that message to twitter and/or facebook. In other words it makes sharing your, or someone else’s, content really easy. The other great thing is custom themes. Tumblr allows you to choses form hundreds of custom themes to completely change the look and feel of you r tumblelog.

Following and being followed…

If someone is following you, your posts will show up in their dashboard feed similar to the news feed in facebook or twitter. This makes keeping up with what your friends are doing/saying pretty easy.
Tumblarity is tumblr speak for popularity. Tumblr is a bit of a social network as well as blogging platform, as it allows you to follow other people and vice versa. If your tumblarity goes up, it means you have more people viewing and interacting with your posts.

Sign up for tumblr, and get blogging. It’s free (and there are no ads)!!!
