I was browsing the image bookmarking site, weheartit.com and noticed that a lot of people are using Tumblr for redistribution of porn. I'm not passing judgement on that but if they start to do bizdev deals, they're going to have to find a way to curb it IMHO. Some of it is really, really graphic. That aside, they should be proud of their trajectory.

Tumblr is pretty open and let people do nearly anything they want to. And they're still making money, so I don't think that the bizdevs are staying away. Considering their eventual plan for profit is selling Pro accounts, I think they can get away with that without killing their business model.

  I didn't think they had a biz model yet...(?)

    They've mentioned having a pro model with more features for a long time now.

$4.5 Million; they deserves more credit than that. We cannot blame them for what people chose to blog for. Not being a YC company should not be a liability on HN. Keep it up guys!!!
