Not really a big surprise. I feel that most of the people I know who use Tumblr are fine with a few extra ads as along as they keep the service free.[^fn1]

Tumblr users flee to WordPress
I find it hard to believe that people are really *that* scared of Yahoo acquiring Tumblr.[^fn1]
[^fn1]: I love WordPress. I think it is the best blogging platform out there. I do not think it is particularly strong for how a lot of people use Tumblr (namely, rampant reblogging of content.)
I think this would be classified as a “game changer.” At a minimum, it would be a signature acquisition for Marissa Meyer.
Good for Tumblr. Maybe this will help motivate me to give the service another try.
