I wonder if this means I'll be able to unsubscribe to the Atlasssian SMS notifications. They make is so easy to subscribe, but no details how to unsubscribe.

as a customer of many companies who use status page, i do not understand it at all. this is just a nice looking page with some history to it?

most of my encounters with status pages have outdated information such as i am checking your page because i think you are down, but you dont list that you are down, yet. or when they are having a problem, there's a very tiny indicator and somewhat useless message.

what could this possibly bring atlassian that they couldn't build themselves?

I'm surprised they sold. This seems like a fantastic business.

Seems like the perfect acquisition for handling HipChat's downtime.

Seems like self-employment, not business, which gets cut from the bill the minute the next down cycle shows.

The ability to subscribe to other companies' status pages has saved me so much time and headache. StatusPage has done something awesome here, for all the people that rely on various services moreso than the service providers themselves. Congrats to the team!

StatusPage is well known and has many customers, so I think this is more about buying the business than merely the product.
