Tumblr brings sponsored posts to your Dashboard on the web
Less than two weeks after Yahoo announced its acquisition of Tumblr, the micro-blogging platform is unveiling a new feature for its desktop site. Starting today, users will see sponsored content mixed in alongside posts from the blogs they follow.
