Famous first words: How these great Tumblrs got their start
Everyone starts somewhere. So, where did these bloggers start? You know, the really great ones that have such great content on Tumblr? Just for kicks, we did a little bit of investigating, and came up with this cool little bit of navel-gazing into the past of some of our favorite bloggers ever. In order, top to bottom: inothernews, kateoplis, soupsoup, brooklynmutt, pantslessprogressive, newsflick, thepoliticalnotebook, mohandasgandhi, azspot (who is like a pioneer or something) and … us. What did your first post say? Find it and link to it in a reblog.

Check it out on Google’s Japanese front page, where it’s already up (it’ll go up in the U.S. on Tuesday, to ensure everyone sees it, since it’s y’know, Labor Day here). It’s amazing. Mercury would’ve been 65 today. Read up more on the rock icon over here, in the words of close friend and Queen bandmate Brian May.
Happy birthday, Freddie <3
