Oh, I totally buy it. I'm just joking around :). I said in another comment:
> Some companies end too early because the technology or capital wasn't there to let it get to its full potential.
Blogger is a clear case for that. If it was founded 5 years later, it could have had sharing features and been Tumblr.
Similarly, if Tumblr was founded now, it'd probably have a better comment system, cleaner design and collections. The real question is - is that enough to move the network effect over to Medium. I see Tumblr v. Medium as very similar to MySpace v. Facebook in that regard...
