I wonder how much of this could be rigged together with smart Javascript tags dropped around the template? Have you looked in to that option?

We're definitely starting to embrace Tumblr at work, and even though we haven't really looked into the analytical/demographic aspect of it, it would be wise to know what's on the horizon for us.

That does address one's own Tumblr Dashboard when logged in. And there has been one browser extension that's gotten quite popular- Missing-E. But it's gone through battles with Tumblr, and also doesn't solve the "global" issue: I don't just wanna see stuff about me, I want to discover stuff outside my account. Example, "Who blogs about farmers markets in Miami?" Something like this is app-able in twitter, but not Tumblr given its current API.

I do still recommend checking out Missing-E. Don't put it on all your browsers (it can't keep up with Tumblr changes, and sometimes freezes). But it is helpful. (It's available for FF, Chrome, and Safari.) http://blog.missinge.infraware.ca/
