For what it’s worth, I find it incredibly unlikely that Yahoo would shut down Tumblr. Tumblr isn’t in the top five social networks by most estimations, but it’s still a very active user base and worth hundreds of millions of dollars if Yahoo can just figure out how to cash in.

I’d say chances are pretty high that they may sell it off, or screw it up miserably in their attempts to monetize it, but they won’t shut it down.

Then again, it’s already pretty miserable unless you use plugins with it, so I’m not sure that much would change.
