Tumblr Grows Through Users" Shared Interests. Tumblr theme Sites Like The Layout Shop Looking Forward to More Business.

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) February 29, 2012

According to comScore’s Digital Future in Focus 2012 report, Tumblr comes in at only second to Facebook among social networking sites in terms of user engagement. This means users spend more time on Tumblr compared to other social networking sites outside of Facebook. It’s quickly becoming clear that it represents the future of blogging and social networking.

This development is especially promising for sites that offer products and services exclusively for Tumblr, like The LayoutShop.

Easy personalization, the best Tumblr themes, and the feed integration have spawned a developing trend in social networking where shared interests are the determining factor.

This momentum towards the interest graph is supported by comScore, stating that “networking around shared interests takes the main stage.” Social networking is becoming more about shared common interests rather than the individual users and their themes on Tumblr.

This, in part, may be a reaction to the many security and privacy issues that have continued to plague Facebook. Sharing on Tumblr can be done anonymously and the service requires no personal information other than an e-mail address.

This can also be attributed to Tumblr’s incredibly easy sharing, customization and layout shop features that are akin to blogging sites like Blogger and WordPress.

Tumblr’s use of a “feed” and blogging platform, creates a hub for users looking to share and re-share their interests instead of themselves online. Users “follow” other Tumbler blogs (or Tumblogs) that they like, and that blog’s most recent posts are displayed on the Tumblr feed.

This is the same system that Twitter uses, except Tumblr allows for more multimedia posts over regular text posts like on Twitter. Another of the sites most prominent features is the use of Tumblr themes that give your Tumblog a distinct look, effectively making it a personal website.

This process is made extremely easy for casual users, as knowledge in HTML or CSS coding is unnecessary in maintaining your Tumblog.

All these elements combined has given Tumblr, and similar sites like Pinterest, a distinct and unexpected edge over much larger competition like Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.

New trends are starting to emerge in internet social behavior. One in which the network’s connecting nodes are no longer represented by the individual users, but by those same users’ common “likes” and personalities.

The future of social networking is decidedly becoming a world of shared interests, and Tumblr is at the forefront of this new digital surge.

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) August 31, 2012

It seems Spark Logix Studios can’t be tamed as the responsive web design and inbound marketing company continues to lengthen its reach and hire new team members. Two of the newest people to join the Spark Logix group are Jon Ramsey and Sean Roberts who will work as project manager and lead WordPress developer respectively.

Ramsey, who grew up in Minnesota, has an eclectic background with experiences that range from filmmaking to quantum physics and, most recently, search engine optimization and web design.

“I’m very excited to join the Spark Logix team,” said Ramsey. “I love learning new things and helping clients meet their needs, which I think will serve me well in providing the top-rate customer service Spark Logix is known for.”

Ramsey admits every day is different when you work as a project manager in the dynamic world of web design and inbound marketing; however, he says he is up to the challenge and proud to be part of a business so committed to staying on the cutting edge of its industry.

Roberts, who has a BA in arts, entertainment and media management, has several years experience working as a WordPress developer and has expanded his skills into responsive web design. He is using his expertise to help enlarge Spark Logix Studio’s Colorado branch and to provide the business’ clients with websites built to drive targeted traffic and deliver excellent user experiences.

“My goal is to help Spark Logix Studios grow to an even greater level,” Roberts remarked. “I’ve long ago committed myself to the best SEO and design practices, and I’m thrilled to be working for such a forward-thinking company that shares my vision.”

Currently, Spark Logix Studios has offices in Ham Lake, Fort Collins, and Minneapolis, and they claim to have no intentions of stopping soon. “Naturally, we couldn’t be happier about our growth and to have Jon and Sean onboard,” said company founder, Rob Benson. “But, what we’re most pleased to share with people is that many of the strategies we’re using to succeed are things we also provide our customers, such as SEO, social media, responsive web design, and more — so, our clients can enjoy results similar to ours.”

Although Spark Logix Studios specializes in Colorado and Minnesota web design and inbound marketing, they welcome clients from across the country. Visit their website or contact one of their offices for more information.
