Tumblr, owned by Yahoo! is a microblogging platform that sits somewhere between Twitter and WordPress. It focuses on multimedia posts, mostly one single photo as an update. Tumblr is noted as having a substantial amount of adult content. At the same time, it hosts blogs for many celebrities and even the US president. Content can spread rapidly due to the reblog feature which is similar to Twitter's retweet. With Justified Image Grid it's easy to connect latest posts from a Tumblr blog to your WordPress site.
