So today, Tumblr's CEO David Karp spoke to Crunchfund's MG Siegler today at Techcrunch Disrupt about the current status of the company he founded in 2007 and dropped some intesting knoledge.
One of the most important/interesting things is that the pair announced that Crunchfund is now an investor in Tumblr, which is a huge feather in Crunchfund's young cap.
Siegler also asked Karp about Tumblr's similarities to Pinterest, which had recently joined the billion dollar valuation club and Karp had an interesting response :
"We try so hard not to see anyone in this ecosystem as a competitor."
Does this mean that Karp feels like Tumblr is a billion dollar company, or close to it? He didn't state that but it's clear that the company is very focused on their work to stay its own unique business.
On how important social media has come, Karp shared that the bulk of traffic that Tumblr sees comes from Tiwtter and Facebook. Not Google. While most blogs rely on Google for the bulk of its traffic, Tumblr has the best of both worlds.
