I think that we need to think twice when we dismiss or devalue popular “mainstream” trends and environments. The mainstream isn’t all from a privileged background and the values they bring to the table may look quite different than ours. I suspect that, more often than not, what we’re dismissing are the values and cultures of people who are different.

Tumblr is what Twitter, Facebook and Wordpress would be like if they all got together and decided to make something that doesn’t suck.
