    [downforeveryoneorjustme.com] is also a useful tool to see if your outage is widespread.

    @Soup: Yep, in this case only certain subsets of people were affected. I was, but my husband (20 miles) away wasn't.

    I totally disagree with you. I was one of the affected ones and the reason I found out it wasn't just my network/computer, was Twitter. I could NOT get to www.google.com or [www.google.com] and nothing had been reported in blogs or news (trust me, I checked Gawker, Gizmodo, and Lifehacker because I could get to those).

    Is there still going to be noise after the fact? Duh. But I don't get this whole hate post.

    @Little Green Frog: Honestly, I never use twitter, and I figured out what was happening in about 10 seconds.


    "Google isn't working. Hmmm... let's check out another page. Gawker still works. I guess Google must be down. Oh, well. It'll be up again in no time."

    @Paul_Is_Drunk: Well, our IT dept is not that good, and have blocked google on accident before while leaving other sites open...

    Anyone know how to filter out people who won't 'effing shut up with the hashtagging? Unfriending would not go over well but 90% of hashtags are crap I don't care about.

    I hereby coin the phrase "twitstorm" for this sort of thing.
