Tumblr Introduces Instant Messaging on the Web, Mobile

Tumblr's latest update is now rolling out to users on mobile and the Web.

Tumblr has announced the introduction of an instant messaging feature in its mobile apps and on the Web. While the blogging service already allowed users to send questions to others, this messaging feature introduces traditional conversation threads to users.

Announced on the Tumblr Staff blog, this feature will take ‘a few weeks’ to roll out to all users, which will allow Tumblr to ensure its servers can handle the new activity. Users will know they have access to messaging if they see a smiley balloon on their screen.
