I'm a pretty shy person, but I find it easier to make friends online than in meatspace. Not necessarily soulmate friends (I think those are rare), but people I have a lot in common with and really enjoy talking to.

Here the trick, insofar as there's a trick: post about what interests you. Have thoughts on the latest movie? Post them. Read a cool book lately? Post about it. Ideas about some issue that other people might be thinking about? Post them. Your posts don't have to be hugely personal (and just speaking for myself, I tend to shy away from talking to people who bare the intimate, or merely mundane, details of their whole lives to the internet--it's TMI for me and honestly I'd rather talk about books and movies). Chances are, somebody will respond to your post and you can start a conversation. And if you're shy or socially anxious like I am (I find internet chatting too high-pressure!) that's a nice, comfortable, at-your-own-pace way to get to know people.

Also, comment on other people's posts when the topic's of interest to you. Try to say more than just "this is cool"--offer thoughts, contribute to the conversation.

P.S.: I don't think Tumblr is a good place for making friends because the interface doesn't make it easy to talk to people. I like DW and LJ better because they have a better format for discussion.
