Where’s Tumblrrific?

Twitterrific (by Iconfactory) is an simple application that allows you to post “tweets” using an application instead of using the problem ridden Twitter.com. Tumblr is a new blogging site that allows you to post a link, picture, video, or a few words instead of creating a full (in respect to Bill Clinton) blown blog. Like I said a few blog posts ago, Tumblr is the lazy man’s blog.

The question I’m asking is why haven’t we seen a Tumblrrific application? It wouldn’t be much different than Twitterrific, other than a more robust text editor and a bigger viewing window. The main reason why my Tumblelog is rarely updated is because I don’t want to spend the time going to Tumblr when I find a cool picture or link. I want to be able to click a little icon, post, and be done.

Tumblr does offer an OS X widget, but the newest version has trouble retaining information (i.e. my username and password), so I no longer use the widget anymore. What would be even cooler is to create a publishing application where you could post to Jaiku, Twitter, Tumblr, Blogger, Facebook, etc. all in one place.

What makes these new “presence” sites so popular is their simplicity. No one wants to dig a hole and climb a mountain to tell people what they are doing.

In hopes of a future with Tumblrrific.
