Paul Higgins: As well as issues with the other features it will be interesting to see the user reaction and whether people will embrace or reject the concept.

Tumblr launches ‘highlighted posts’.

from Tumblr Staff Blog:

Introducing: Highlighted Posts

Every now and then, a post comes along that’s meant for big things. It could be pulling the wraps off your new project, promoting your next show, raising awareness for a cause, or just sharing a truly incredible photo.

Today you’ll have a new option to Highlight those extra-important posts. For one dollar, your post will stand out in the Dashboard with a customizable sticker to make sure your followers take notice!

MG Siegel thinks its a good idea. I guess I am ambivalent, and I will have to see what strange interactions highlighted posts might have with other Tumblr features, like Explore and reblogging.

Note that I don’t seem to have access to this new feature yet, or I would have highlighted this post.
