Tumblr.com the four year old micro-blog platform now has more blogs than the eight year old WordPress.com. Note: WordPress.com does not count the self-hosted open source software that allows blogs to be published. Tumblr.com has over 20 million blogs according to their website. This bests WordPress.com by 85,000 blogs.
