Just checked https://www.google.com/appsstatus all green, which does not reflect reality for me (e.g. Gmail is down) edit: shows how incredibly difficult introspection is

It is all green if you do not need to be logged in . If you are logged in, the page crashes with an error. You can still browse all services from Incognito (which for some is not an option).

This is not true. i am logged in to gmail and getting 500 err

Out of curiosity, what response time do you expect on a page like that? And what level of detail? I'd much rather have their team focus on fixing this as fast as possible than trying to update that dashboard in the first 5 minutes.

210 points in 5 minutes. 500 in 10. Seems everyone see's the status page and is like "hey, time to check hn" ;-)

EDIT: You can permanently refresh and see the score increase by 2-3 points each second. Wow.

EDIT 2: 1800 after one hour, but a few points were probably lost due to HN downtime. Being quick to post is important, guys;-)
