WordPress CEO claims 72,000 blogs defected from Tumblr after Yahoo acquisition news

WordPress CEO sees 72,000 blogs imported from Tumblr after Yahoo rumor breaks

WordPress CEO Matt Mullenweg has spoken out in an attempt to capitalize on Yahoo's rumored $1.1 billion acquisition of rival blogging service Tumblr. He claims that once the news had broken on Sunday, defections from Tumblr to his own site had risen from 400-600 per hour to over 72,000 -- which presumably included users put off by Yahoo's track record of shutting down its acquisitions (like Del.icio.us, Geocities and Broadcast.com). If that figure is true, then Marissa Mayer's probably going to have to answer some rather awkward questions in a few hours.
