Hey everyone! I have an exciting and slightly overwhelming milestone to share with you:
Tumblr has broken into the Top 10 sites in the U.S., and now has a worldwide audience of 170 million people.
This isn’t meant to be a brag – though you should definitely try our new Android and iOS apps if you haven’t yet – but a credit to all of your brilliant creative efforts. You guys have earned an audience bigger than the biggest TV networks, and you continue to make some of the most thought provoking, insightful, inspiring, funny, diverse, and compelling content being created today.
It is truly a privilege to build products for you, and we are humbled every day by all the amazing ways you use them.
We made Chili.

The first photo: the Twitter team prior to our first investment in the company in early 2008. There were 15 employees.
The second photo was taken this past week. 1500 employees.
Incredible.
I’ve worked at Tumblr for four years.
Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency. Remember that our sons and grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us. Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty. Think big.
Four years ago we—the 8 of us—jumped on covering Obama’s inauguration on Tumblr.
Tonight there’s a packed house as we live stream the final debate from Google’s New York headquarters.

Today we’re releasing the DIY Anthem video. We made it ourselves at our HQ in San Francisco.
This is our heroic vision for the power of practical skills. It’s also the reality on DIY today. Using our app and site, thousands of young Makers build, hack, and share. They do challenges, and earn Skill Patches. They inspire each other to level up.
At DIY, we hope to build the next generation of Makers.
Directed by Daren Rabinovitch and Isaiah Saxon, two of DIY’s co-founders. Music by Little Wings and Jeremy Harris. Extreme thanks to VFX Supervisor David Chontos and Lead Animator Lucas Ridley. They made this possible.
We hope you love it.
