Tumblr Introduces Trending Tags on Its iOS and Android Apps
When Yahoo acquired Tumblr back in May, the press release noted that Tumblr boasts more than 300 monthly unique visitors, and that more than half of its users are utilizing the platform’s mobile app. These mobile users access the app an average of seven sessions per day. So when Tumblr makes an update to its mobile app, especially one that’s related to its all-important tags, marketers’ ears should perk up.
