Launching the White House Tumblr

We see a lot of exciting things here at the White House every day, and sharing them with you is one of the best parts of our jobs. That’s why we’re so excited about launching a presence on Tumblr — a microblogging platform designed especially for curating and sharing content.

Here are some of the things you can expect to see on the White House Tumblr:

• Behind-the-scenes photos of life at the White House
• Quotes from President Obama
• Infographics about important issues

We’re also looking forward to seeing what you have to share with us. President Obama is committed to making this the most open and accessible administration in history, and our Tumblr is no exception.

You can follow us on whitehouse.tumblr.com.
