I also played the prototype and similarly enjoyed it, and also can't play it now

Something that occurred to me: is there any way - or rather, are there any existing browser features that support - setting up an "alarm" for when a hug-to-death site becomes generally available again?

The difficulty would be not contributing to the deathhug. You could check if it's accessible at all if everyone accessed a server that was itself polling the site every minute, but trying to gauge beyond "accessible" and "not accessible" seems difficult.

Best would be if a site could report its availability status on its own externally. Anyone know of an existing service where you can report the status of your website?

And if you do, could you also share it with the various cloud providers so they can render an accurate status page?
