@bikemech_ca I haven't used Pocket. I personally like Instapaper so I haven't switched. I've heard pocket is good.

@kylefox @rrhoover right now Tumblr is doing $25 mil in rev, and says it needs $100 mil to be profitable.

@rrhoover @kylefox These co's (Tumblr, Reddit, etc) already have a solid product + millions of users.

What could Yahoo do to help Tumblr that Tumblr couldn't do on its own?
