Tumblr users are active
We had a Tumblr board meeting yesterday in NYC. It was great to get everyone in a room and discuss the future of Tumblr. Lots of interesting ideas and needless to say, David & Marco are working on some very cool new things :)
I was also blown away by some of the recent Tumblr stats.
Tumblr users are super active & passionate. I knew that from the folks I follow but it’s true across the board.
For example Tumblr averages 43k new posts per day across the 180k tumblelogs out there (that does not include imported feeds into tumblr). And it’s growing at an impressive rate. To put that in context: consider that wildly popular Wordpress generates about 106k posts per day across 2.3M Wordpress blogs.
That’s not a ding on Wordpress which I consider a very cool company and great software (we use it to power the Spark website).
I’m just quite proud of the Tumblr community and excited about where this is going.
