Hi I have a teenage boy and he has become addicted to "Tumblr" - I think it is kinda like Myspace/Facebook mixed together, but I am not really sure.
Does anyone here know anything about this sight? I did a google yesterday and from what I have read so far, it isn't good. But would like some more feedback on it.
Thanks.

Hmm...I'm on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Google+, but I haven't seen Tumblr.
Crazy doesn't even begin to cover it.

Read this article it may give you more insight to why your teen likes it. Tumblr doesn't sound like something to worry about.

Thanks - that makes me feel a little bit better, one site I went to talked only bad things about it and said all they talked about was sex, drugs and provanity - and that you can get virus' from the site.
But I didn't see that one when I googled - I just told my son if he wanted to stay on this site, that he would need to show me some good examples why and how it isn't what this site I saw said.
Maybe I am being an over protective mother, but I think that is my job and I have all ready had two really bad virus' and I don't want anymore.
Thanks again - when he gets done with the play at school we will probably have a sit down talk about this site so I can learn more.

I recommend installing and using malwarebytes and Antivir if you are worried about viruses. They are both free and very good pieces of software
