Let's see:
| The outage affected 10.2 million blogs |
|
| deprived those blogs of about 5.5 million pageviews. |
|
Then their average blog gets approximately 1.01127 pageviews per hour?!
Yes, I realize time of day might have had something to do with it, but still...it's kind of sad, really, to think about all the time being poured into blogs that nobody reads.

MatthewHSE it's more likely that many of them get far less than that, probably a hit every few weeks when the author updates and that's it while few blogs get visits non-stop. furthermore, these are hosted blogs... most higher-traffic blogs will be professionally hosted on a dedicated server or cluster.

It's more like a ton of blogs that haven't been updated in forever and no one bothers with.

Never good when things like this happens but this week with the web hosting company I use they had a problem with the server and it was offline for a couple hours and then when I got back online it turned out my database for my wordpress blog was corrupted. So I had to repair that before I got the site back up and running. Overall, it was almost a half of a day off line. I didn't like it and it caused much stress especially since I am not a database guy but it is part of running a site.

No, just to clarify their blogs get an average of...
1.833 hours / 5,500,000 pageviews = just over 3 million pageviews per hour. 3 million pageviews an hour for 10,200,000 blogs = roughly 0.29 pageviews an hour on average (during that time period).

From what I can tell the the outage affected more than just the blogs hosted on the Wordpress servers. From what I can tell, blogs that use plugins which connect to the Wordpress API were affected too.
We host Wordpress sites on our own dedicated servers. A client called us during the outage to report that their site was down.
Upon closer inspection we found that the site was having troubles do to a stats plugin that uses the Wordpress api. The outage caused the plugin to not load correctly, which made it so the pages in the client's site could never fully load. Once the plugin was disabled everything in the site worked great again.
I imagine something similar happened to other sites using similar plugins.
I think it's testimate to the Wordpress.com's reach when over 10 million sites can be affected by an outage.
