Tumblr is allowing people to pay to promote posts.

Which is interesting and perhaps good marketing.. though I am not sure how many teenage girls will want to promote their odd cat animated gifs. Nonetheless.. Tumblr is trying it out. 

So while Google and Twitter plan to censor posts, I have only to wonder if David Karp will eventually travel down the same 21st century path of censorship too.. and if he does will he allow the pay-per-posts to remain unscathed? And……… if I pay for a post I expect it to be found in a workable search and… more importantly, I don’t expect Tumblr to crash.

Are we paying to own the post? …or is it owned by Tumblr and we just pay them to not give it back?





Inquiring and somewhat broke minds want to know.
