I was aware of tumblr and I actually find people's recent shared items more interesting than a static outdated blogroll.
I also use Google Shared Items to highlight articles of interest that don't merit a blog entry per se or material I might want to revisit.
Scanning your tumblelog was interesting as I found we share some feeds in common (you even marked a couple of the exact same articles !) and I discovered some new, interesting feeds (love the Wiki description video).
I also like Clipmarks where you can clip a individual paragraph or section from a Web page and share this info.
The only thing missing (IMHO) is the ability to annotate the clip/tumble with your own comments. I would really like to know why a reader marked a post as interesting , controversial or noteworthy.
Is this possible with tumblr ?

Hi Andy, Tumblr allows you to edit a tumble before posting, so you can add your own comments if you wish. But, in this case, and especially when my comment is relatively long, I prefer to post it here, at my "normal" blog.

Great explanation of Tumblr. It looks like a more user-friendly way to publish bookmarks and other fun stuff. I could see this getting more traction than del.icio.us.

Hi Eddie , Thank for notice such a good tools,
usually i follow all my favor blog through blogroll and import into my ipaq so that i can read it anytime & anyway . But when i wanted to read further i alway need to find a hotspot for it.
This tumblelogs, some how server like an newsgroups reader where it dig out all detail into 1 mail in a more graphic manner.
But 1 thing i still not understand is linkblog and tumblelogs, because i surf around robert scoble linkblog i found it have much more feature compare with tumblelog and both serve the same purpose..'putting out info in full'...
