Tumblr announced on Monday that all blogs as well as the Tumblr Dashboard will be unavailable for a “few hours” on Saturday October 6, starting at 4:00AM EST (1:00AM PST). The company explained this was a required move as the microblogging platform, which serves billions of impressions for its 150 million users, attempts to further improve performance.
