As new ways of communicating with other people have been invented, nothing has been like the microblogging and social networking site Tumbler. The story of Tumbler is interesting as well. At the age of 21, David Karp was just like any other entrepreneur who wanted two things in life: success and fortune. Being that David Karp had dropped out of high school when he was younger, all Karp really had was a few items and a dream, but, what differentiated David from any other entrepreneur was his drive and passion for his dream. While going about his daily activities one day, David had a genius idea about microblogging and social networking and as before, David always was very interested in this section of communication and had lots of knowledge in this sector of conveyance. David had the idea of Tumbler which ultimately is a  microblogging and social networking site that lets users express themselves, be themselves, and connect with other people. But what differentiates Tumbler from any other microblogging and social networking site is that Tumbler is very image-focused and ultimately there is no maximum word limit on posts that are created as many other sites have. On top of each image, Tumblr users can post videos, sound files, and many other types of content that other sites don’t allow their users to access. Finally, the biggest pro of Tumbler is the site’s ability to let users customize their life and portray it for all to see. Lots of other sites are very limited in this factor and do not let their users customize/personalize aspects of their profile, but Tumbler ultimately lets users customize every aspect of their profile. 

                      What is exemplary about David is that he didn’t let anything stand in this way. As a high school dropout, many people don’t do anything or have ideas that can change the future, but David ultimately dropped out of high school to follow his passion and pursue his dreams. What drives David Karp as an entrepreneur is his willingness to never settle for less. Although Tumbler was created in 2007, it has never stopped updating and inventing new aspects of the app to be more user friendly. What makes Tumbler an interesting idea is that David Karp created this successful app when he was 20. Although various apps were created by young entrepreneurs, David didn’t even have a high school diploma when thinking about Tumbler. He took his dream and passion and poured it all into His app. Entrepreneurial traits that David demonstrates are passion, persistence, and hard-working. David Karp is innovating day in and day out by teaching anyone that age doesn’t play a role in how successful you can be. Finally, David specifically inspires me to chase after my dreams even if they don’t make sense. When David Karp created Tumbler, in the beginning, nothing made sense. It seemed like an overall similar app to the competition, but with research and hard work, Karp ultimately made this dream become a reality.
