Citizens of the Internet, we’ve reached a milestone: This may be the first major web acquisition announced via GIF.
Also, we talked to one Internet expert who thinks we should all be freaking out, and another one who thinks we shouldn’t be. So, you know, take that for what it’s worth.

Oh, so we forgot to mention something huge—we hit 10,000 followers over the weekend! Yahoo!

GAME CHANGE.
Whoa, hit a milestone without even realizing it! Thanks for reading, everyone—here’s to the next thousand posts.
Introducing your new Activity page (and “Tumblarity”)
Two big things:
For the past few months we’ve been using an internal metric called “Tumblarity” to sort and filter content on the Search and Popular Content pages. Tumblarity is derived from every blog’s activity and popularity across our network. We’re getting ready to start using it to organize the boss new Tumblr directory (which should be done next week!).
For the first time, you can view your Tumblarity on the Dashboard and Activity page.
Have you guys heard of this new Tumblarity thing? It looks awesome!
This is what my longform birth certificate looks like.
Aw man, got so excited for a minute thinking Tumblarity had returned. Le sigh!
Now Live: The Tumblr Spotlight
We’re always amazed by the breadth and creativity we find on Tumblr, and we’re always looking for better ways for you to showcase your talents and other interesting blogs. With the new Spotlight, we’ve set aside a special place to highlight a few of these blogs that truly inspire us.
With your help, we’ve added hundreds to this Spotlight over the last few weeks and we’ll be adding many more, along with new categories and new languages. If you know of a great blog that we’ve missed or have a category you’d like to see, please send it to editors@tumblr.com.
It’s also much easier to find the People You Know tool where you can look up your friends on Tumblr. Note: We’ve moved the option to disable email lookups to your Preferences page.
We’re in the Entertainment section. Come say hello!
Check out our spiffy new Spotlight icon—now with 100 percent less pixelation!
