It's weird seeing the go-to downtime tracker go down. I'm so wired to check Twitter that I kept refreshing for a good 10 seconds.

Time to make HN the go-to downtime tracker. Did anyone measure HN's uptime over the past years?
I don’t know about empirical data, but HN occasionally goes into a mode where page loads that don’t hit the cache (logged in users) take 10+ seconds. I haven’t been on when it’s gone down completely since i signed up (not too long ago).
1. Wow, Twitter is down.

2. I bet it’s trending. Let me check.

3. …

4. Oh.
