Tumblr Highlighted Posts

08 February 2012

The Tumblr Staff blog: >Today you’ll have a new option to Highlight those extra-important posts. For one dollar, your post will stand out in the Dashboard with a customizable sticker to make sure your followers take notice! Tumblr seem to be keeping the monetization of their service meaningful, which is positive news for users.

By improving their service and charging for it, Tumblr users remain its customers, rather than its product: Tumblr are not serving ads and selling your clicks and page views to advertisers.

Enhancing a service, and charging a fair price for it, is a model that users should feel good about.
