Since its launch over four years ago, Tumblr has watched its growth rates soar. According to the Greylock Partners, Tumblr generates 13 billion pageviews each month. What’s more, the company is closing in on 30 million blogs, and has seen over 45 million posts added to the site today alone. Recently, Tumblr announced that it reached 10 billion posts since its inception.Nielsen earlier this month helped shed even more light on Tumblr’s growth, saying that the company “is an emerging player in social media.” In the past year alone, Nielsen says, Tumblr has nearly tripled its “audience.”

I’m starting to really like some of the things Tumblr can do for creating content, and community while building your blog, and brand…..right out of the box.

The “Ask Me” feature and user generated content tools (simply by enabling Submissions) are really great ways to get people bonded with your blog, and invested in your content and community, and don’t really require any additional premium plugins as well. 

And the inherent social nature of Tumblr is a pretty powerful way of getting your message out to the market……..and potentially far more quickly than a more traditional blog.

If you are working on using The Content Community Continuum in your business…..Tumblr is a great platform to take a look at, especially if your budget is low and your tech experience limited. 

(i’m using it for a new project, really for the first time on a larger level…..and really enjoying some of the advantages that are fun, easy to use and great for connecting with others in your extended community, and pretty quickly to boot!)
