Tumblr is known to be one of the simplest blogging platforms around the World Wide Web and it has been doing a lot of progress. If you rate their effectiveness, you can see that Tumblr is rated between WordPress and Twitter.
WordPress would require some effort in order to create some organized content while in Twitter the whole process is almost effortless. Tumblr offers something in between. It is viewed as a tool for users that want to have a blog with videos, photos and other content embedded but do not have the time to struggle with a more complex blogging platform.
In fact the traffic and the user base of Tumblr are growing fast and they have recently hit some milestones on the way. Of course if you compare it to the success of Twitter, Tumblr still has a long way to go but it is definitely growing fast enough in order to make an impact in the web.
The Tumblr team is doing their best to provide the best features as well. They have added the option to add static pages to your Tumblr blog recently and now there are also dead simple ways in order to directly upload videos in your blog.
Tumblr is now planning to launch two revenue generating features this month. The details are scarce but it is known that these features will be powered by a widget. The success of this revenue generating feature of Tumblr is viewed as paving the way for micro blogging networks – an area that is traditionally devoid of revenue.
