Is the web site really down, or is it just me?

How many times have you visited a web site, and it's down.  Then you begin to wonder if maybe it's your connection?  or your DSN? or a fiber cable cut?  Sure, you can try pinging and tracerouting, but it sure would be nice to have another opinion.

Well, here's a web site that does a quick check and will let you know if the site is really down:  http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/   It's just another tool to keep in your hip pocket.
