    Interesting times ahead folks ...

      "Founded in 2007, Tumblr reached its heyday around 2012, and hosted 108 million blogs the following year, when it was acquired by Yahoo. It wilted under the company’s leadership and is broadly acknowledged to be on the decline."

      There seems to be a pattern here, like #Yahoo is a digital retirement home where aging websites go to die (have they acquired #MySpace yet?). Maybe Tumblr needs to escape, just like #FlickR did?
