When my blog hit number 1 on Hacker News earlier this month (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3328619 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3328619) it never went down. Running Jekyll on GitHub with my own domain julianyap.com. 30,000 hits in 24 hours. I remember the "move your site off of GoDaddy" post last week going down this week which was run on Tumblr. Elsewhere Tumblr wasn't down so it depends on the resources they allocate to you. I suspect MG Seigler's blog is on a top tier Tumblr resource pool so I wouldnt recommend Tumblr unless you have constant popularity to your blog.
