You asked for it. Here it comes. Messaging.Real, threaded, instant messaging. It’s in the latest Android and iOS apps, and on the web.
Yep: Now you can talk to a Tumblr.
This is a big launch, and it’s going to take a few weeks to get it out to everyone (we need to make sure our servers can handle the weight of your discourse). If you don’t have it now, you’ll have it soon.
Q: So, how can I tell if I have messaging?
A: Great question. If you see this smiley balloon hanging out on your screen…
…you’ve got messaging. If you message someone, they’ll get messaging. Eventually, messaging will cover the earth.
Q: What if I have other Q’s? What if I have A’s, even?
A: Well dang, we’d love to hear any feedback or questions you have about this thing. What works well? What kind of doesn’t? What kind of features do you want to see? Those are some of the Q’s that could use your A’s. Our support team is listening (and they’ve already put together an FAQ).
