Tumblr still has a long way to go until it starts to appear on the same horizon as the big boys like WordPress, Facebook and Twitter, but it’s certainly seeing some growth, backed by a rapidly expanding feature set.

Here’s how they describe themselves:

Tumblr lets you effortlessly share anything. Post text, photos, quotes, links, music, and videos, from your browser, phone, desktop, email, or wherever you happen to be. You can customize everything, from colours, to your theme’s HTML.
