I run a news site on Tumblr and I can tell you my downtime problems are nowhere near as bad as this site suggests they are. In the past three months I can remember only one major bout of downtime, and I'm on the site most of the day every day. And in the case that downtime is as bad as it seems, I suggest you guys use CloudFlare, which will at least keep a cached version of your site online even during downtime issues. Tumblr is way more about community than mission-critical uptime. If you treat it like mission-critical uptime, you're going to be disappointed. If you're trying to reach an audience for your application — which, honestly, should be more important with a staff blog — Tumblr is a great bet.
