Although Tumblr has been kicking around since 2007, 2011 was the year the microblogging site crashed into mainstream American culture (even Time magazine -- your grandfather's news magazine -- now has a "Tumblr of the Week" feature in every issue!)
Since everyone and their blogging brother has a Tumblr these days, PAPERMAG has picked the top Tumblrs from the past year. And don't forget to visit PAPERMAG's Tumblr. Enjoy and reblog away!
