Gmail and Google Apps Status
Posted on April 24, 2009, under Webmaster.
In response to recent outages in Gmail service, Go0gle has launched a new feature so users can check on the status of an application. The new feature called Apps Status Dashboard (http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/02/25/google-responds-to-gfail-outage-with-apps-status-dashboard/), can provide users with up-to-date information on Google Apps services, like Gmail and Google calendar.
There also appears be an RSS link on the page, but at present it doesnt appear to be working.
