That's nice but feels more like a status page to me than a way to gauge long-term uptime (which is what we were going for here).
For our application outages, it's been pretty well correlated that if pingdom can't get a 200 OK on the test pages we've set up, it's been down. And I don't think we've had much if anything slip in under a 200 OK but still being down.
I'm sure we're still off by a couple of minutes here and there, but the big picture should be quite accurate.
