Tumblr takes on Reddit’s AMA with Answer Time Q&A

Tumblr takes a page (quite literally) from Reddit’s Ask me Anything series with its question and answer platform. The blogging site/social network is calling it Answer Time. It’ll let Tumblr users chat with celebrities and other important people. It kicks off on Monday, June 8^th with a daily Q&A session. They’re kicking it off with Fall Out Boy on Monday, and they’ll be followed by the likes of rapper Vic Mensa, Tumblr CEO Peter Karp, and Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards.
