It is embarrassing, but the downtime of some social services has turned into one of their defining “popular” factors. You know there is a problem when people who have never tweeted in their lives still know what a fail whale is.
However, is that perception truly accurate? Or is it born out of mere boredom? This site will let us all know for certain. As its name suggests, it is a tracker of popular online services. It lets you know right away if sites such as Facebook and Twitter are working normally, or if they are having a bumpy ride at the moment.
A site like this one will put a definitive stop to these chains of emails, updates and tweets that go “is facebook down for me or for everybody else????”. It won’t make a world of a difference (I mean, what on Earth can you do to fix Facebook if it went down?) but at least it will keep you from trying every computer and device in sight to see if you can gain access to your best-loved site because you are unsure whether the problem is down to you or the site in question.
