I’m building a thing now and I have to say the last thing I’d consider is a status page. Great idea in theory. But the world today sucks and all it does is open you up to, at best, endless complaining. At worst you get the script kiddies who think now, now is the time to attack. You get media and bloggers demanding quotes about how you failed to anticipate a 10000% increase in traffic overnight. And you get “shareholder rights” litigants (if you’re public) demanding compensation for depriving them of $0.0003 in revenue per share for the twenty minutes it took to fix the problem. Far better to focus on fixing the problem and apologizing to the paying customers afterwards.
