I live near an EBay headquarters in silicon valley. There certainly are a lot of 30- people with money in the area. Two local small towns have completely transformed. One now has regularly scheduled town meetings on how to fold diapers or some such. Real estate prices have skyrocketed, even on the silicon valley scale of things.

So I agree that such people are a decent sized ($)customer/reader base...

But I think Yahoo Finance is where most people go to look at the daily charts, and company profiles, etc.. So I hope these tmblr postings get reflected onto the Yahoo Finance headlines. I guess it would be surprising if they did not get listed there.

There is Goggle Finance, and the NASDAQ website itself, and those are better for some things, but I think the primary traffic is at Yahoo Finance.

Exactly - tmblr REALLY is a big deal with the younger audience - my 15 year old daughter knows all about it. Not sure if Yahoo is just using/expanding tmblr to bring in an older audience or because it is a means to be able to upload financial blogs like seeking alpha was.

What I can see is that yahoo would be able to demonstrate an increased audience if we all have to sign up to get tumbler accounts now; AND if they have not monetized tumbler yet - one would think they probably would now - thus a revenue increase for Yahoo.

I wouldn't worry about it - but that's my take.
