For the record, if there is a site out there set up by your customers that is called “is [name of your business] down?”, it’s good and bad news.

It’s great news they care enough to actually do this.

It’s really bad news that you can’t get your act together to fix it.

This is what has happened to Twitter. Check out http://istwitterdown.com/ that pings Twitter to tell users when the site is not working.

If Twitter doesn’t address its downtime problems very soon, it may go down in Web 2.0 history as one of the most unexplainable failures of its time.

One more problem: Twitter is actually down right now and istwitterdown is not reflecting it… Argh! Can someone set up istwitterdowndown.com?
