Check the status of web services and report outages. This resource monitors the status of your favorite web services, combining user
reports and official announcements to tell you when there's service
trouble.Unfortunately, unlike other sites such as
Titsup and
downforeveryoneorjustme this doesn't allow you to choose your own sites. You're limited to Facebook, Twitter, Ning, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, Typepad, LiveJournal or Blogger. It's very unlikely that these resources are going to be down although with Facebook crashing the other night it can't be ruled out. They try and suggest reasons why we should use their site instead of Twitter etc but I'm not convinced.
