Tumblr has grown up fast.  Billed as a micro blogging site for posting text, video, and pictures,Tumblr is now one of the 25 most popular websites in the U.S.  Since the site was first introduced, 30 million blogs have been created. Those 30 million blogs are generating more than 40 million posts a day. This means it gets more daily page views than Wikipedia or Twitter. As a reward for their efforts, Tumblr just raised $85 million in funding. As of this writing I am not using Tumblr. However, after seeing these numbers I guarantee I go take a second look.
