Cool Tool : Down For Everyone Or Just Me ??

Ever not be able to access a site and you don't know if something is up with your computer or if the site is actually down for everyone?

Here's a link to Anita Hamilton's Time article ' Why Everyone's Talking About Twitter ' (from March '06, after SXSW). I love Twitter, I'm addicted to it and I am completely voyeuristic when it comes to some people whom I've never met. It supplies a real time snapshot of developments in the Web 2.0, social media arena. It's just a place to post random thoughts that you think are worth sharing in less than 140 characters.

The problem is that unless you have a blog or a web si
