I don't know about Tumblr unseating Facebook but I think it's interesting to note the popularity of Tumblr amongst the younger crowd and ask "why?" It's interesting that Tumblr is pretty feature poor compared to other blogging services like Wordpress but is still popular. It's basically "grandma easy." However, grandma's are clamoring towards Facebook (which in my opinion is a much more difficult interface for a non web-savvy user) while the younger crows is clamoring towards Tumblr. If I were Facebook I would be more worried about dumbed down, feature-poor subsections of itself being implemented and taking away market share than another social network trying to outdo them. Even though the younger crowd is supposedly more tech savvy, I'm noticing a trend of them leaning more towards technology that has a simpler UI, oftentimes just because it has less features/options.
