High-res It was announced today that Tumblr raised $85 million in additional funding from Richard Branson and other VC’s. If I had to speculate the reason why, perhaps it is because Tumblr traffic jumped by about two (2) billion pageviews per month to over 13 billion since the beginning of the year. Some other fun Tumblr numbers to consider include: Over 10 billion posts 40 million new posts per day Attracts 72 million visitors per month Half of those are from outside the United States Source: Quantcast  What is more astounding – and is depicted in the graphic above – is that Tumblr now generates more pages views than Wikipedia, according to comScore. And fittingly, this post is indeed on Tumblr, ticking that number of posts to 10 billion plus 1.
