I think I've been unconsciously thinking about the weird spelling of Tumblr ever since I've made one...  (By the way, my Tumblr is here and my Tumblr with only reblogs can be found here.)

Just recently, I've also activated my Flickr on my Yahoo...  (My Flickr can be found here.)

At that moment, I realized why Yahoo recently acquired Tumblr... (It is the sole reason why users see ads on their Dashboards now.)

Yahoo acquired Tumblr because it's an social media that has the same ending as its popular photo hosting platform Flickr.

Flickr and Tumblr...

So the next time a company acquires another one, pay attention if it's driven by vanity - especially nominal vanity.

P.S.: I'm sorry about the shameful self-promotion...
