Dear Tumblr

oatmeal:

If you’re going to go down, you might as well blame it on an imaginary animal like Twitter did with their infamous Fail Whale. I’ve taken the liberty of creating this animal for you:

Please use it. 

Please oh please. 

-The Oatmeal

Good one :)

Update: David Karp just sent Oatmeal an e-mail and they’re actually going to use it.

A quick fact

On average people look at 9.75 pages per visit to WhenTumblrIsDown.com

So people are missing out on a lot of funnies because there are a lot more sentences in the “pool” that is picked out of randomly ;)

coketalk: Normally, I consider it rude to complain about complimentary service, but since I got a shout out, I’ll make an exception for whentumblrisdown.com. Another “Tumblr celebrity” I wanted to include on http://whentumblrisdown.com as a tribute.

» Tumblr Staff: Downtime

staff:

Yesterday afternoon, during planned maintenance that was not intended to interrupt service, an issue arose that took down a critical database cluster. This brought down our entire network while our engineers worked feverishly to restore these databases and bring your blogs back online.

While you…

Well… that was quite a ride :) The site usually gets traffic spikes when Tumblr goes down - but never like this. Things have been crazy. Well, Tumblr has never been down for 24+ hours before…

I’m going to post more tomorrow… new additions, new sponsor, links to some press coverage etc.

Looks like the creators of The Hype Machine liked my little nod to their website :) Well, hypem.com is an awesome site/service - I use it pretty much all day, every day.
