Tumblr accounts are everywhere these days and it is hard to separate the unique ones from the truly mundane, but the Fax Blog Tumblr is definitely one of the more creative and intriguing ones I have come across.
The premise of the blog is simple: readers somehow acquire a secret, unknown fax number to which they can send pictures of whatever they want, really.
The photos on the Fax Blog Tumblr range from comics to photos of people to restaurant coupons. The idea is to develop a completely random and unrelated series of photos and it seems to be working.
The heading at the top of the Fax Blog Tumblr says, "If you have the secret phone number, you can fax to this blog." Mysterious and totally random, this seems like my type of blog.
