From art to architecture, fashion to food, Tumblr hosts 105 million different blogs.\u00a0 With more than 300 million monthly unique visitors and 120,000 signups every day, Tumblr is one of thefastest-growing media networks in the world.\u00a0 Tumblr sees 900 posts per second (!) and 24 billion minutes spent onsite each month.\u00a0 On mobile, more than half of Tumblr\u2019s users are using the mobile app, and those users do an average of 7 sessions per day.\u00a0 Tumblr\u2019s tremendous popularity and engagement among creators, curators and audiences of all ages brings a significant new community of users to the Yahoo! network.\u00a0 The combination of Tumblr+Yahoo! could grow Yahoo!\u2019s audience by 50% to more than a billion monthly visitors, and could grow traffic by approximately 20%.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of working together, Tumblr can deploy Yahoo!\u2019s personalization technology and search infrastructure to help its users discover creators, bloggers, and content they\u2019ll love.\u00a0 In turn, Tumblr brings 50 billion blog posts (and 75 million more arriving each day) to Yahoo!\u2019s media network and search experiences.\u00a0 The two companies will also work together to create advertising opportunities that are seamless and enhance user experience.<\/p>\n<p>As I\u2019ve said before, companies are all about people.\u00a0 Getting to know the Tumblr team has been really amazing.\u00a0 I\u2019ve long held the view that in all things art and design, you can feel the spirit and demeanor of those who create them.\u00a0 That\u2019s why it was no surprise to me that David Karp is one of the nicest, most empathetic people I\u2019ve ever met.\u00a0 He\u2019s also one of the most perceptive, capable entrepreneurs I\u2019ve worked with.\u00a0 His respect for Tumblr\u2019s community of creators is awesome, and I\u2019m absolutely delighted to have him and his entire team join Yahoo!. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Both Tumblr and Yahoo! share a vision to make the Internet the ultimate creative canvas by focusing on users, design \u2014 and building experiences that delight and inspire the world every day.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/yahoo.tumblr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/yahoo.tumblr.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&rsquo;s hope that what Marissa Mayer says holds true&hellip; marissamayr: I\u2019m delighted to announce that we\u2019ve reached an agreement to acquire Tumblr!\u00a0 We promise not to screw it up.\u00a0 Tumblr is incredibly special and has a great thing going.\u00a0 We will operate Tumblr independently.\u00a0 David Karp will remain CEO.\u00a0 The product roadmap, their team, their &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.driko.org\/blog\/2013\/05\/20\/lets-hope-that-what-marissa-mayer-says-holds\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4384","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","hentry","category-uncategorized","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.driko.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4384","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.driko.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.driko.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.driko.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.driko.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4384"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.driko.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4384\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4386,"href":"https:\/\/www.driko.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4384\/revisions\/4386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.driko.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4384"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.driko.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4384"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.driko.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
