From time to time get calls from customers saying that their internet is down, when this happens we usually visit the service status page for that particular Internet Service Provider which normally lets us know if that ISP is having any service disruptions at the present time.
This saves us countless hours having to wait on hold only to be told "yes we know we currently have an outage"
However when this happens to a web based resource or cloud service it's usually a little more difficult to find what the story is.
Well now there is a website dedicated to showing the service status of the major cloud based services.
www.downrightnow.com is a site which simply lists major cloud resources such as Facebook, Gmail , Twitter, Youtube etc and will display along side the list any current service disruptions.
Take a look yourself and bookmark this page, perhaps next time someone says "if facebook offline?" you can reply with, well actually it is currently offline.
