Do you oppose joining Tumblr or reading Tumblr? I'm pretty against joining; it seems like a really worthless way to spend my time.
I've had great success adding various Tumblr feeds to my RSS reader. They come up like any other blog, which I love. (If you have a paid account on DW, you can also create RSS feeds to subscribe to here instead of using a separate reader. Solves the Tumblr problem completely.)
I guess I oppose joining it, but I find reading it to be confusing, especially looking at the archives. I have trouble seeing why it's superior to a blog. Is it the 'get a random page' function, so that anyone can get as much exposure as anyone else? Because I don't know as I would want random exposure.
If you'd like to read DogBlog on Dreamwidth, here's the feed: dogblogsf_feed.
The main perk of Tumblr is the interconnectivity and interactive nature. It's easy to reblog (and the Tumblr system automatically includes credits/links back to the source). It's communicating by sharing and passing things around. Like Facebook-style sharing with LJ/DW-style lists and friends.
Depending on the layout of the page, the archives can be very straight-forward. I feel like Tumblr handles archives better than Blogspot or Blogger. Lots of "real blogs" use Tumblr as an embedded feature because it has a lot of features...features WordPress/TypePad are just getting around to introducing, years later.
