What's funny is that this is what I find myself doing instinctually when I encounter an outage or high latencies on ANY service or site. Heroku (recent process startup woes), Google Apps (slowdowns, specifically Gmail), Amazon (when its hammered by traffic to big deals), etc etc.
I second the comment above suggesting a "crowdsourced" status app monitoring twitter. Although it's no consolation for service interruptions, it does at least keep you sane knowing the problem is elsewhere.
- jamiesonbecker 15y agoYes, because Twitter never goes down.
- chc 15y agoWhat does it matter if Twitter goes down? The odds of it happening for an extended time right at the beginning of an EC2 outage are rather small, and even in that worst-case scenario, it doesn't really put us in any worse of a position than we're in now.
