“On Tumblr it’s like freedom, you can post whatever you want and you know people won’t be mean to you.”

“A lot of people don’t like to be known, they just want to be known as their blog.”

“You’ve just got to watch how you use it and what you are actually doing to make sure you’re safe.”

“Facebook is more of what you are up to and all that, and Tumblr is more what you are into.”
