This Silicon Alley Insider article discusses Tumblr’s recent growth. It’s currently getting over 700,000 page views per day, more than 2/3 of which go to actual tumblelogs. The rest are to the Tumblr homepage, the Dashboard, and other non-tumblelog pages. I probably check my Dashboard 20 times a day; there are no other sites I check regularly except Gmail and Kottke…
i have to agree here… i check my dashboard WAAAAY more than my RSS reader these days. definitely my first and last stops. it just feels so refreshing and easy to maintain. my RSS reader feels out of control.
