Facebook vs Tumblr
Facebook started first, in 2004, 3 years before Tumblr.
Why Facebook lasted
- The social graph of people over 30, plus Marketplace, Groups, and WhatsApp as the actual prize.
- It is still where local institutions go because that is where the locals are.
Why Tumblr lasted
- Fandom, collage, and a posting style that did not survive other feeds intact.
- Automattic bought it. WordPress people might yet be decent stewards.
