Tumblr now hosts over 70 million blogs with over 30 billion posts to date. Our pageview to engineer ratio is 0.5 billion PV per month to 1 engineer. This means every line of code every developer writes has a huge impact.

We are also excited to deliver a range of new products that will enable users to share their own creative content, discover content, and connect to one another in new ways.
