Twitter is the number 1 in the war of the microblogging apps, does it deserve its place there? Maybe. What about the others? Do you remember Tumblr?

Tumblr is still there and still making it easy to share text, photos, URLs, music, and video clips. And just like Twitter you can post a tumblelog from your browser, phone, desktop or via email.

Customization of your Twitter homepage is limited, changing the background and styling the links is about all you will get. With Tumblr, there is a lot more, you can create a sophisticated unique theme very easily, all you need is a basic knowledge of CSS, and you are good to go…or you can download a theme.

Below you will find 34 Amazing Tumblr Themes, Twitter could never look this good!!!

    Tumblr is a sub-par blogging solution.

    I’m glad Tumblr finally added new themes! It’s about time. There other themes before this new version were getting old to me.

    Tumblr is showing good growth, not twitter good but good.

    I was hoping for a bit more inspiration. They’re all very stereotypical web 2.0

    Ya, people never seem to understand that any website can look absolutely awesome, as long as they give you the ability too. Hopefully the sex appeal of these awesome themes will get people to take a look at Tumblr and how central and easy of a process they’ve made having a sick “blog” online.

    it’s odd that you include the Twitter Inspird theme on a post titled “Twitter could never look this good”. Good selection nonetheless.

    I’ve had a Tumblr account for quite some time now and I never knew you could change your themes or use it for micro-blogging. I primarily use it for clipping links.

    Been using ‘VERTIGO’ for quite a few months. One of the best themes out there. Check it out at http://thomaswilliamdaly.tumblr.com

    Museum and Silo by Paul Giacherio are awesome, and with some strategic modifications they can cater for a full-blown blog. I used a heavily modded Silo on http://bravelittlememe.com, and added third party tag and comment systems to fill in the missing functionality.

    I have a tumblr and a twitter. I both use them for blogging. I use my twitter for short blogging while tumblr is for a ‘real’ and long blogging purposes, and for posting my ideas.

    These themes are hardly amazing, just the same bs posted on Tumblr site. Themes are also pretty pointless unless you are some leet coder, because most of them have lots of bugs. :(
