Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Is Fumpr really "the world's fastest photo storage?"
Fumpr is an image hosting site that claims to be "the world's fastest photo storage." It definitely has the simplest possible interface: a browse button to select the file you want to upload, and a "fump" button to share something. Fumpr falls into the unfortunate category of names that will probably never catch on because they're just awkward to say. "Hey, I fumped a picture of you earlier today!" might meet with some raised eyebrows, to say the least. But is it fast? Sure. It's about as fast as Imageshack, Photobucket or Flickr. I didn't notice enough of a difference in speed to call it "the world's fastest," but if they're referring to the number of steps it takes to get something uploaded, then they could be right. It just seems to me that the way Fumpr wants to distinguish itself -- other than with the silliest possible name for a storage service -- is with speed, and there's not enough of a difference there to set it apart.

"Hey, I fumped a picture of you earlier today!"
I don't get why people have to verbalize a web service. Like when someone says or types "Why don't you Google Montana?" I'm laughing because it sounds as if he's just saying 'Google Montana'. Like as if there were a Google base in Montana, which is probably not what he meant.
Or Twittering someone, or even rickrolled you. You're just basically advertising for a company. Let people pick what they want to use, and don't try advertising this and that to them in your own little language.
