    Tumblr is for micro-blogging, and WordPress is for the more wordy articles. It's not very similar at all.

    Waterfall is created in replacing tumblr in mind. The website is still in development yet gives a smoother experience than most blogging websites. The staff are on-call and reports are quickly handled. They emulate the nested reblog format of tumblr but also allow for side blogs to act like main blogs, as well as some very cool and interesting features now and to come!
