"Following Yahoo's acquisition,\u00A0Tumblr has announced the launch of\u00A0Sponsored Web Posts, which the company claims will &amp;quot;simply blend&amp;quot; into your Tumblr dashboard. This news follows Tumblr's move to introduce ads on mobile last month.\r\n\r\nTumblr's move to bring this ad experience to the Web comes with little surprise; Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer made it clear that Tumblr would embrace advertising in order to turn the highly popular network into something remotely monetizable.\r\n\r\nWith the desktop release, Tumblr is once again teaming up with specific advertisers early on. On mobile, Tumblr teamed up with companies like ABC,\u00A0GE, Pepsi and Warner Bros. Now, companies like\u00A0Ford, Universal Pictures, AT&amp;amp;amp;T and even Denny's will soon show up in your dashboard. Additional advertisers include\u00A0Purina,\u00A0Capital One and\u00A0Viacom.\r\n\r\nLuckily, the blogging giant\u00A0appears to be vetting these adverts heavily; the first ad (shown above) takes the form of an animated Gif.\r\n\r\nImage credit:\u00A0Mario Tama / Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
