“ Unread counts cause mental blocks, [David Karp] said, and they’re the reason everyone dumps their RSS readers after like two days of starting them. On the Tumblr dashboard, ‘you don’t get freaked out if you miss stuff. You never feel overwhelmed… Most active Tumblr users have missed things on their dashboards, but they don’t remember, they don’t know, and it doesn’t matter.’ ”

this is true of both tumblr and twitter for me. i see what i see and i miss what i miss

Leon Crawl: I talked to David Karp and he said some things about Tumblr (via nickdouglas)

= It takes a mindset change to get used to it but it’s liberating at the same time.  I’ve never been too conflicted about the “Mark All as Read” button whether it’s Reader, GMail or Outlook.  I know people who can’t hit that button.
