   Um excuse me WTF? Automattic will be moving Tumblr to run on the WP backend? Is this all just a publicity stunt??

     @geoffreyconley is it a bad idea?

     I'm ignorant but curious.

     @geoffreyconley well, it is still very customizable to just be a simple blog. I think it's not going to hurt WordPress, after all, they are porting the front end of Tumblr to the backend servers of Wordpress.

     They claim that users shouldn't even notice a difference.

     If you're using either one, it doesn't seem like they will cross paths in anyway that's noticeable. At least that's what they claim.

     I guess we can only take them for their word and see what happens.

     @BeAware well I'm open to the idea that blogs are blogs, and it could work. But I would be shocked to see it well implemented. I find myself wondering, at what point is it still wordpress anymore?
