Using Thesis as blog platform vs. Tumblr

[HyperOffice]

I read a lot of advantages by using Thesis as a platform for blogging, but I like the themes and other plugins from Tumblr. Are there equivalents at Tumblr to the Thesis benefits so I can go a head and go with Tumblr?

Thesis is a theme/framework that is built for WordPress.org. Tumblr is a free blogging software. For SEO perspective, I'd go with, hands down, Thesis. First off, your URL on tumblr is sitename.tumblr.com. Secondly, it's free, so it's never as good. Thesis is built with a lot of in-code SEO so the site has maximum growth. I'd definitely go with WordPress/Thesis.
