Tumblr reaches 100 million blogs landmark

Slowly and silently, Tumblr has reached the hundred million blog mark this week. The site is home to 44.6 billion posts within these hundred million blogs, the ticker on Tumblr’s about page has revealed. The site was founded in 2007 and grew slowly for the first few years. In April last year, it was revealed that the site had reached the milestone of hosting 50 million blogs for the first time. The recent surge in Tumblr’s popularity has ensured that it has doubled in the number of blogs in almost less than a year. Earlier this month, the number of blogs on the site stood at 93 million. Nearly six million more blogs were created on the platform in the past month alone. There have been 44.6 billion posts made on Tumblr’s blogs, with numbers increasing by the day. Only today, over 80 million posts have been made on the site! While the website does not offer a separate tally of how many GIF-based posts are included in these numbers, we have a feeling that it covers a huge chunk of the share.
