[In the Asia Pacific Region] Tumblr is outstripping Facebook in terms of bandwidth used in the corporate environment. [Palo Alto Networks marketing manager Brian Tokuyoshi] admitted that this could be the effect of Tumblr being more media intensive, with most Tumblr posts consisting of one or more images. However, he said that this traffic is on the increase more so in Australia than in other parts of the world. “Tumblr has taken a considerable amount of bandwidth inside businesses inside Australia and New Zealand, and the rest of the world is catching up.

bitly blog: Time Is On Your Side

bitly:

Did you see those silly cats on Tumblr, that breaking news on Twitter, and those photos of your friend’s kids on Facebook? Different social networks have their own distinct personalities. Bitly links are shared across all social networking services, giving us a unique viewpoint on how these…

This is fascinating, but I think it gives very little attention to the most important part of this, which is: When are the people that you’re trying to reach most active on that service? The fact that Tumblr gets a lot of sharing use in the evening hours isn’t surprising, because it has a high concentration of younger users. But those might not be the people you are trying to reach; Tumblr also has a good audience reading it at work, and if you’re targeting those people you’re probably better off posting earlier in the day.

John:

I’ll start by saying it has been an absolute joy and privilege to be the President of Tumblr these past four years

To work alongside these special people, with our intense focus on product, positivity, fun and whimsy — from our small team came what is now a community of over 50…

My favorite John story, from the time two years ago when I was wavering on whether to leave Newsweek to take a job a Tumblr:

Me: So I’m kind trying to figure out what I should do here. I mean, everyone I know has heard of Newsweek; nobody knows what Tumblr is.

John: Let’s analyze this. Basically, there are three things that can happen here. You could come and think we’re all dicks, in which case we’ll help you look for another job. Or you could come and we all decide that you’re a dick, and then we’ll help you look for another job. Or, you could come and it will be awesome.

And that sold me. It’s been nothing but outcome ‘c’ since I’ve been here, and that in no small part is due to John. He’ll be missed.
