@rvbrown, actually the number for page views is higher than I originally thought, it’s 12.5 billion, according to Quantcast. The visitors number comes from Comscore.

Allowing staff members to curse on the blog does not equate to transparency and running a functional company. Facebook ended up succeeding because it found its place with businesses. Tumblr needs to do the same or else they lose the backing, financially and socially, of the heavy hitters.

Are both “visitors” and “page views” from Comscore?

Very good; and the conclusion frames the larger question well. One can only wonder about Karp’s citation of potential “confusion” among a “wider base”, i.e. if it’s really saying that attributing “creep up issues” to missing-e won’t withstand scrutiny – especially given the prima facie scene where Cutler appears to bend over more than backwards to mitigate any such issues.
