So, it looks like Tumblr was down again today and as usual when that happens a lot of new folks discovered my silly little website. Thanks for stopping by, come again :)

I was just checking my web logs and noticed a huge traffic spike on August 8th. After some digging I think I’ve found the source: soupsoup
soupsoup (aka Anthony De Rosa) is a fairly known entity in the Tumblr universe (I keep seeing his name pop up every now and then) and it looks like he has a nice following - his post resulted in some nice traffic, a few reblogs and several likes. So, thanks for posting and I’m glad you liked the site :)

Yay! I just got my first Tumblr support e-mail through my contact form :)
He was having problems accessing tumblr.com on AOL…
I tried to help him the best I could but I also pointed him towards support at tumblr dot com.

The Dashboard was just offline for about 30 minutes after a switch failed on one of our racks, which reduced server capacity. Access to blogs was interrupted momentarily.
We’re very sorry for the inconvenience. (Thanks to the team at The Planet for the fast replacement.)
WhenTumblrIsDown.com comes to the rescue yet again ;)
haha, Tay.
This is my favorite post from the May 12th incident. G. Taylor McKnight from The Hype Machine reblogged a screengrab from When Tumblr Is Down that his friend (?) posted that said “When Tumblr is down, you’ll have to go to The Hype Machine to find good music to listen to.”
Then David Karp (the guy that founded Tumblr) liked that post and also Anthony from The Hype Machine.
So all the right people know about this now. Mission accomplished :)
Last week Tumblr went down and people went crazy… some posted about their rage on Twitter and others went to Google to see what’s up: tumblr down?, tumblr is down… and that’s probably how some people found the site When Tumblr Is Down.
Well, word spread around… people posted about the site on Twitter and Tumblr (after it came back up) - people reblogged and liked the posts left and right (the posts were on Popular > Upcoming for a while). People were also posting screengrabs with their favorite “when tumblr is down…” sentences…
So, yeah… looks like people like this little project of mine :) It also looks like people refreshed the page a lot to see different sentences ;)
The datacenter hosting Tumblr’s primary infrastructure just suffered major connectivity issues, leaving the site inaccessible for the last 30 minutes. All access is now restored, and we’re investigating the cause.
Our deepest apologies to anyone affected.
Good thing there is WhenTumblrIsDown.com, right? ;)

Looks like Crystal at Soul Garden found When Tumblr is down and decided to share it with her readers - that resulted in a few reblogs and likes. Thanks :) I’m glad that Tumblr users seem to like the site.
