Hey Tumblr, it’s me.

I really love you. I think thats obvious. You guys give me access to all the HTML and CSS I can handle and give beginners all the beautiful templates and ideas they can process. You truly established an awesome community of bloggers (and teenage hipster girls who have an inflated sense of relevance, but I’m ok with that. I mean, some people probably think that about me too). My dashboard is full of varying opinions and interests to reblog and agree or disagree with. Here’s the problem though: I can only do this with other tumblr users and tumblr doesn’t own the internet (yet).

So while there are a ton of great Tumblr blogs, there are also a lot of great non-Tumblr blogs that I subscribe to via RSS. I’ve read these blogs via NetNewsWire and recently started using Socialite as an RSS reader. I LOVE native apps and usually hate web apps, but I prefer your web app to my native RSS readers. You guys let me aggregate RSS feeds to my blog if I want to (I don’t want to), but here’s your missing feature and It is a killer feature:

Why can’t I use my Tumblr Dashboard to read RSS feeds of blogs that aren’t Tumblr blogs? If I could, I would then be able to reblog and comment on stories not posted on Tumblr. Can I has this?
