Micro-blogging sensation Tumblr is down again. It’s only been a good week since the service was unavailable for more than 24 hours (yes, hours, not minutes).
I’m not even a Tumblr user, but this is getting out of hand.
Update: and they’re partially back up now, but still terribly unstable.
I mean, even Twitter is up for the moment, but their status blog – hosted on Tumblr – is down. How’s that for irony?
Worse, my colleague MG Siegler’s personal blog is also – gasp – down!
We’ll check back in a day or so to see if Tumblr is back up.
At least they’re aware of the issues.
