'You're going to open source Tumblr?'

'That would be pretty cool.'

For anybody interested in the future of Tumblr, The Verge did a podcast interview that I can recommend with the CEO of Automatic (Wordpress) about the acquisition. One of the interviewers is a fannish user of the site and did try to bring that perspective to the chat. I found the CEO's ideas intriguing albeit necessarily circumspect. Also he has a really nice voice.

Anyway, well worth a listen if you like your information in podcast format, and they do also provide a slightly condensed transcript.
