Their API is down too - started slowing down at 2016-11-07T05:44:52Z and went offline in earnest at 2016-11-07T05:47:37Z.

As you can imagine - we have a lot of analytics on this sort of stuff at Zapier. :-) Usually we know about API outages before any official status pages update (besides our own https://status.zapier.com/#app-status). Ironically Twitter's status page is also down... https://dev.twitter.com/overview/status (or maybe that is just their status API? hard to tell).

It is pretty rare for Twitter to go down - even for a moment.

Update - at 2016-11-07T06:12:55Z we're seeing some HTTP 200s...

status.twitter.com redirects to https://status.twitterstat.us/ which presumably is their official status page. Which, by the way, reports that all systems are operational.

That's pretty funny. What use is a status page that's updated that infrequently?

Really?

Why would you update it if nothing is happening....

I had a product idea for a status page that would switch "Degraded service" whenever people started checking it.

So poor blokes know the status is up to date and not frozen for the last couple of weeks.

Really, how hard is it to update the date?
