Down For Everyone or Just Me?

downforeveryoneorjustme.com brings solution to the question, “Down for everyone or Just Me?”.

Basically, you can enter a domain name and find out if that website is up or not.

It’s a pretty simple idea that might do good for people wondering that question all the time.

“I had seen that question posed so often,” said Mr. Payne, who perhaps not coincidentally works at Twitter, a Web messaging and social networking site that is itself known for frequent downtime. “Technology companies have branded the Internet as a place that is always on and where information is always available. People are disappointed and looking for answers when it turns out not to be true.”

iRead - Organize your Favorite Books for Facebook, MySpace, etc...etc...

iRead, is a Facebook/MySpace application for organizing your favorite books.

It looks like a great niche social network done right using Facebook app as the piggyback method.

Great job guys, keep up the great work!  They are also making apps for other social networking sites, maybe it’s time that they create one of their own under their domain name.  (That might be the killer revenue for them and also build a brand…)

iRead is an application and online community for book lovers. Once registered, you list, rate, and write reviews about books you are reading or what you have read in the past. Based on your reviews and preferences, you can find other readers with similar tastes, and check out their reading lists and recommendations to find more books you might enjoy. You can also browse randomly through other users’ reading lists and reviews. The iRead application for Facebook has already become very popular, with over one million registered users.
