Tumblr Down
It appears that the microblog service Tumblr is currently down as of 6:15AM Eastern Time. From what we can tell, the service has been down for about an hour now. I can’t seem to find a status blog for Tumblr. Both the main site plus all of the users blogs are down.
A search on Twitter for Tumblr shows some very upset users (some comments NSFW) about the outage. We’ve sent inquiries to the Tumblr team for more information on whether this was a planned maintenance period or if the outage was caused by something else.
This is the first time that we’ve reported that Tumblr is out of service.
As always please report in if Tumblr is down where you are – either the main Tumblr site or your personal Tumblog.
Update: 6:45AM Eastern – Tumblr is back!

down for me
Take that, Mashable!
This is the first time I have ever heard of Tumblr being down. Lovely service, I am sure they will bounce back extremely quickly and issue an apology to their users (they are very communicative)
