News!
Everyone, I’m elated to tell you that Tumblr will be joining Yahoo.
Before touching on how awesome this is, let me try to allay any concerns: We’re not turning purple. Our headquarters isn’t moving. Our team isn’t changing. Our roadmap isn’t changing. And our mission – to empower creators to make their best work and get it in front of the audience they deserve – certainly isn’t changing.
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.
Yahoo is the original Internet company, and Marissa and her team share our dream to make the Internet the ultimate creative canvas. I couldn’t be more excited to have her help. We also share a vision for Tumblr’s business that doesn’t compromise the community and product we love. Plus both our logos end with punctuation!
As always, everything that Tumblr is, we owe to this unbelievable community. We won’t let you down.
Fuck yeah,
DavidSource: staff

![Tumblr And Yahoo: Latest Details On The Imminent Deal: “By the end of this weekend, Tumblr founder David Karp will most likely be $250 million richer and Yahoo founder [sic] Marissa Mayer will be able to say she outmaneuvered her old friends at Google, not to mention Facebook, Twitter and Microsoft.”“…Inside Tumblr, the thinking is that Yahoo’s offer is likely to be as good as it gets because none of other big players need what Tumblr offers — its youth, its growth, its high levels of mobile engagement — quite so badly.” — Jeff Bercovici, Forbes](http://25.media.tumblr.com/984d86dad0cfe37f74d9c62b4554ef4f/tumblr_mn0jvurl3e1r7ealro1_500.jpg)

![Tumblr May Reject Yahoo’s $1.1B Acquisition Offer For Being “Too Low” [but “acquisition… likely in the cards for Tumblr”]…“Tumblr employees have been told that the company only has enough funds to operate for a few more months, as its costs far exceed the limited revenue it earns. Tumblr pulled in $13 million in 2012, but has accelerated its advertising offering in hopes of hitting $100 million in revenue this year. The money’s not coming in fast enough to support its expenses though. Employees were recently told not to be concerned, though, because the company is expecting to be bought.” — TechCrunch’s Josh Constine](http://25.media.tumblr.com/5f86b000e2d47bc091d62f90cb52146c/tumblr_mn06fduZl41r7ealro1_r2_500.jpg)

Yahoo reportedly eyeing Tumblr for possible $1 billion acquisition
Also, from the Wall Street Journal’s All Things Digital:
“According to sources close to the situation, that could mean a strategic alliance and investment in or outright buy of perhaps the coolest Internet company of late: Tumblr. Sources said the talks were serious, but any kind of deal — of course — could come to naught.”May 17, 2013 Update: ”All Things D” reports Yahoo’s board is meeting on May 19 to consider a $1.1 billion acquisition of Tumblr.
