It appears that Tumblr built in a day or two what no D.C.-based technology supplier could come up with in the last five years. —

However, what allowed Tumblr to build its SOPA bashing machine is something unique to Tumblr that I’ve never observed in any other social media service: A SPINE. What other company has ever demonstrated such willingness to inconvenience and confuse millions of users in order to draw attention to a cause it truly believes in? Name one.

Tumblr stuck its neck out and educated, empowered, and mobilized over 87,000 people as a result. We’re lucky to have Tumblr.

Hear hear.
