David Karp, the founder of Tumblr, explains how he created the microblogging platform. Karp also outlines his team’s next steps for the Tumblr community.
To date Tumblr has over 3.1 million publishers. Karp said in December the site got 500 million impressions. And that same month more than 4 million unique visitors came to the site, according to Compete.com numbers. What’s next? Karp said he hopes to add new features and “perfect” the dashboard.
Although he wouldn’t say anything specific about what the revenue model will be for the site, he spoke strongly against display ads, seeing more opportunity in offering premium features that users would pay for.
