There is enough porn on Tumblr that I would assume it's being blocked by many corporate firewalls. (Not to mention blanket bans on social networking sites.) Probably not a place I would put marketing material.


Do most corporate firewalls do deep packet inspection? I think that they'd mostly just be blocking domains based on a blacklist, or with a regex.

Since most startups would be using a subdomain of their own domain for their tumblr blog, so I don't think this is an issue.


If you host your blog on something.yourdomain.com, it'll be accessible even if tumblr isn't, right?


It's certainly blocked at my workplace.


But that's just blogs on the tumblr domain. If it is on a subdomain I'd imagine it's not blocked.
