I think it's a great example of noticing a common problem that no one has solved (to my knowledge) and providing a solution that's damned obvious in retrospect. The domain might be too long to remember. Maybe something like downorjustme.com (available) would be better.

Oddly though, it says youtube.com is down (maybe that's your test case?).

They should make a little widget that others can load on their servers to help in the effort:

Down from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx in France,

Up from yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy in New Zealand

Etc
