How many different ways have we heard the same thing? > So what’s new? Simply, Tumblr gets better faster. The work ahead of us remains the same – and we still have a long way to go! – but with more resources to draw from. Wow, someday someone's going to get caught plagiarizing. An acquisition rarely leads to "more resources to draw from" and more often leads to neglect. Yahoo clearly has a lot riding on this deal and will surely make a strong effort to disprove the doubters on this one. However, unless they're banking the company on Tumblr (doubtful), then it's hard to imagine more resources going into Tumblr. The only time a large company's resources bring value is when the acquiring company has legal and lobbying resources a small upstart could never afford. YouTube and PayPal are probably the best examples of this.
