I didn't know that such a google-page actually exists, thanks. btw: gmail works for me at the moment (although its status is marked with "Service outage").

#14You have to expect these things from a beta service :p

I pay by looking at ads from time to time.

Besides of the above URL, http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ works not only for google but any other service too. However, I got suggested that tool via twitter, but I have no clue how it works or how reliably it is.

#17Not to sound negative or anything, but are we going to have a story anytime a popular service like gmail, MSN, twitter or whatever goes down?
Also, aren't you guys supposed to work at this hour? ;)

"Looks down from here" suggests to me that it's simply doing an HTTP GET and interpreting the returned status code (or timing out). http://downforyouaswellorjustme.com/ would probably be more accurate.

right. Even better the service could become if they'd watch the status pages for the services they'dget asked about. But takes a little more effort than a plain GET.
