LinkedIn vs Tumblr
LinkedIn started first, in 2003, 4 years before Tumblr.
Why LinkedIn lasted
- It is the resume that other people can see, and hiring still starts there.
- Microsoft bought it and plugged it into the Office graph. Jobs is a search problem Microsoft wanted.
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.
