Exactly, it's just a very quick hack, and scraping and parsing is 'good enough'. Not pretty or long-term reliable, but it does the job.

Very happy to take suggestions for other services - any ideas? What other critical dev infrastructure goes down a lot?

Nothing against scraping at all, I think that's probably the only real way to do this until more companies have a (free) status API.. assuming scraping is within the ToS of course ;)

I had a few others on my list; Azure, Office 365, Stack Overflow.

You have the big ones already though I think.
