Tumblr Launches Q&As Platform as an Answer to Reddit’s AMA

Because its parent company is soon to shut down some of its very well-known platforms, social media and blogging site Tumblr is getting ready to launch one new feature. The feature referred to will showcase its most important users by making them all available to answer questions from the site’s loyal base of fans which numbers between 30 – 50 million active users.

The debut date is set for Monday. The first circle of interviews called the Answer Time will feature Cecile Richards, everybody from Planned Parenthood president, Vic Mensa, Lois Lowry and last but not least David Karp, the founder of Tumblr. A couple of days before the Q&A featured interviewees shall open their Ask Boxes to field questions from anybody who uses the site.

Answer time is not exactly the first time Tumblr emerges into social media Q&As. In some prior times, Tumblr was hosting a very popular series “Dashboard Confessions”. It featured interviews with many bands and musicians. That included even John Stamos, ASAP and Passion Pit while some other respectable users such as the White House did everything to connect with the company’s young, liberal and socially engaged base of users.

Danielle Srtle, Director of Culture and Trends at Tumblr, said that the company’s vision for Answer Time is to provide to some fantastically creative people a place where they can be as creative as they wish. Also a place where they can connect with their very curious and loyal fans. There they can answer questions, and be honest and direct, just as if you are talking to your best friend.

The new program Tumblr has created will also be as functional as Reddit’s Ask Me Anything program. Their AMA is open and welcome to everybody from comedians to scientists, which only proved that social media sites are also very worthy and a great alternative to some other ways of interacting with fans.

Reddit’s Q&A platform is one of the most popular ones, and it allows users to chat with celebrities. What will happen now when Tumblr is all set to launch its version of Q&Q called the Answer Time? Tumblr has great hopes for the platform and wishes to leverage its vast community to make event-level talks with celebrities and other people of high importance.

Some big names are related to the launch of the new platform, which will kick off on June 8th of the current year and will have daily Q&As. Tumblr has one more as up its sleeve. The company plans to bring a new and fresh attention and users to their already vast network.

Blogging and social media have become an integral part of everyone’s life, and this kind of platforms are very much welcome. People love a chance when they can chat with their idols, and people they look up to and admire. The new project from Tumblr will surely have a great impact on people of all ages, and with a few new twists Tumblr has brought, this will soon become a hit project.
