Does Roll Call Work?
Roll Call, now 884 Tumblr users strong, was built to provide a new, inclusive way to discover people.
Does it work? Have you found new people to follow? Have new people found you? Do tell!
I’ve definitely perused Roll Call’s database on several occassions and I’ve read a handful of random tumblrs. I haven’t added any yet, as I’m trying to keep my following list to a manageable number. As it is, I have trouble keeping up, and I have less than a hundred (and only 40-50 or so that actually update regularly). I’ve definitely bookmarked a few though, and I’ll probably end up following them eventually.
As for people finding me, I’m not really sure. A couple of people did add me after I joined Roll Call—hello and thanks for the follow, by the way! Though, I suspect that they may have found me via Megan. Any time I find my followed by numbers increase, it’s usually because I’ve received onemorebumpwithfeeling. You like what I did just there with the clever phrase/tumblr username reference? Yeah, I liked it too.
Either way, I still think Roll Call was a great idea. Though, at the moment it’s a bit skewed towards those with icons featuring pretty girls. But then again, such is life.
