Microblogging is a wonderful and interesting way to keep in touch with your family, friends, and coworkers. Tumblr is the easiest way to blog and they say about Tumblr:

Tumblr lets you effortlessly share anything. Post text, photos, quotes, links, music, and videos, from your browser, phone, desktop, email, or wherever you happen to be. You can customize everything, from colors, to your theme’s HTML.

Keeping yourself and your company in the forefront of your prospects’ minds—by giving them valuable information and updates—Microblogging will convert prospects into customers. Try it. Set up a free account, follow some like-minded Tumblrs; invite other Tumblrs to follow you. Monitor what they say. After a short while, you will begin to see the most effective content you can deliver to your followers.

These benefits can be gainable by  WordPress 3.1, with its new feature like Post Formats. The core functionality of post formats of WordPress gave the ability to WordPress developers to create Tumblr style WordPress themes and they can enhance the Microblogging experience in a better way.
