Tumblr Insights: Election 2012 Report
With the U.S. presidential campaign already off to a roaring start, news from the Republican primary contests has been a major topic across Tumblr. As we near another crescendo in Florida, we were curious how the campaign—from the numerous debates and rallies, to election ads and gaffes—has played out so far in terms of the type and quantity of attention received by each candidate on Tumblr.
The first graph shows how frequently each candidate’s name appeared in posts. The second shows other tags most frequently associated with each candidate. We’re most impressed with the viral power of one creative concept blog: When Rick Perry’s Unpopular Opinions sprang up as a parody of one of Perry’s campaign videos, he easily became the most blogged candidate overnight.
Our Insights team will be bringing you more data as the campaigns progress!

Interview: David Karp, Founder of Tumblr, on Realising His Dream
“There are very few people who have the privilege of getting to invent things that billions of people use”
New York Daily News Social Media Editor Anjali Mullany gets Meg to show us her “football” with essential items she uses to do mobile reporting. They’re both two of my favorite people and among the smartest journalists I know.

Today in Czech Republic: Sedivackuv Long dog sled race, the hardest dog race in the world
“While finding a tiny coconut in a whale’s stomach is enchanting, there’s nothing so striking as the image of a sperm whale eating a shark. It disturbs me the way turducken does, like as a close cousin to cannibalism. More terrifying, with sharks in the diet, Americans who might have been swallowed by sperm whales would have had another thing to worry about: sharing the stomach of your predator with yet another predator. To be eaten after being eaten. To be the –en of the turducken.”
Had fun hanging out with Katherine the other night, but her stay in Germany was much too short!
GPOYW “DLD Celebs” Edition
Digital - Life - Design — better known as simply DLD — wraps up today. Topics of discussion range from the digital consumer to epidemic intelligence. NASDAQ SVP Corporate Communations Frank DeMaria is sending us postcards from the conference, including this snapshot of DLD co-founder Marcel Reichart doing one of his “animated” intros.
Really enjoying Nasdaq’s “postcards from…” series.
Per great advice and suggestions from folks, Tommy now has a dedicated Tumblr page. He’s currently interning at Tumblr as a dog.
