More Intelligent Life: Where does the name "Tumblr" come from?

The founder of Tumblr David Karp: Back when we were starting Tumblr, there was a burgeoning movement in the blogosphere towards a format called "tumblelogs" [a variation on blogs that tends towards shorter stream-of-consciousness posts, often with mixed media]. These are where the initial inspiration for Tumblr came from. We wanted to be the first and best platform for "tumblelogs", so the name seemed appropriate.
