Exactly for this, I have built https://IncidentOK.com which sends alert over email/slack to user if any third party services like this reports an outage or incident.

I regularly see your comment (or ones for similar services) on these types of posts.

I assume the strategy is working as you keep replying, but have you considered starting posting yourself, as a measure of "you can independently verify how quickly we spotted this outage"?

(For what it's worth, for the alert component you can do it yourself for free by subscribing to individual status pages (assuming they have the option) to the email-to-Slack integration.)

I see only two references. Do you see more than that?
