Tumblr happens to be a fairly recent social network for mini-blogging. While quickly approaching 7 years of age, Tumblr has managed to fall right into place by remaining relevant and innovative.. Tumblr embraces the aspect of "community" and manages to link everyone together by way of "#" ...With the use of hashtags, a new way of keeping up with trends, people are able to search videos, blog posts, links, images, and quotes et al. relevant to whatever they may be looking for.

#Community

Tumblr encourages aspects of community by embracing the individual and what he or she can add to the community. Let's consider aspects of a jigsaw puzzle. While the puzzle pieces may be different in shape, they all play a major part in completing the bigger picture/ puzzle. Tumblr is just that. While every blog/personality is different in style, content and appearance.. They all play major parts in completing the tumblr community.


#FollowTheWorldsCreators

Who are the world's creators? We are. Tumblr showcases aspects that make our "world" unique. While each user brings parts of their world to this network, a larger network is created. A larger community is created from the separate individuals.

Individuals with similar interests create smaller communities within this larger picture. Those smaller communities are what creates our world.

I plan to explore this "Part to Whole" idea with community via Tumblr..

Tumblr: Follow the World's Creators..

Of Steve Jobs: 2005 Stanford Commencement Address

"So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."

Faith is defined as.. 
: strong belief or trust in someone or something

Steve Jobs' speech implies that he trusted in "something" to guide him through the toughest points in his life. I have reason to believe that this can be considered as faith in a religious context.. Though his developing situation gave him a plethora of reasons to think that the outcome wouldn't rule in his favor, he believed that the "dots would connect..." Jobs encouraged the graduates to never give up having this faith or "trust in the dots."

In each of his stories, he proved his "trust in the dots" to be a feasible deal. He was presented with some form of a plight or unfortunate circumstance in which his future ended up completely different than the picture that his present was creating. 

Jobs' firm belief in "whatever" definitely made the difference in his life..

"...trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.."

and for him, they did.
