This Silicon Alley Insider article discusses Tumblr’s recent growth. It’s currently getting over 700,000 page views per day, more than 2/3 of which go to actual tumblelogs. The rest are to the Tumblr homepage, the Dashboard, and other non-tumblelog pages. I probably check my Dashboard 20 times a day; there are no other sites I check regularly except Gmail and Kottke.

I imagine these numbers will just continue to grow as more people discover that maintaining your own blog is more satisfying than maintaining a profile on a social networking site. As I’ve said before, a comparison to being a homeowner vs. living in a housing project is appropriate.

The “Posts” statistic does not include stuff imported from feeds, as some users make their Flickr or Twitter streams import automatically. That’s 43,000 manual posts, every day - as fellow investor Bijan points out, more than 1/3 of what Wordpress generates.
