Automattic is at it again...

Word on the grapevine is that Automattic will be attempting to merge Tumblr with WordPress. I don't know when, I don't know why, and I cannot imagine I will ever learn how, but uh. There's that news, I guess.

Edit: More on the possible migration from jv, a former Tumblr/Automattic staffer.

well that sure is A Baffling Decision

considering they’ve been turning more and more towards keeping tumblr locked down (its soo difficult to view anything without an account these days) something which *extremely* does not work with the WP model i’d assumed they were pushing tumblr towards the social media side of the line it straddles, rather than the blog side. but i guess not???

Yeah, it's a mystery. I'm glad I recently backed up my account, just in case this all goes to shit, but still.
