Perhaps some kind of status indication such as green/amber/red lights?

 It would probably be helpful for a lot of us if the status blog (or another

 expected time to resolve, just a little flag that said 'we acknowledge an 
 increased error rate right now' it would be helpful.

It would be awesome to have a status API – isolated from the actual API –
that applications can ping and use to display helpful information to users.
(Or even just a very simple page that you could load in – even in a mobile
app – to display the current status of Twitter when something goes wrong in
the app).

 They did that for awhile by feature set, but the problem was that it wasn't
 dynamic enough to give an accurate picture IIRC.

this feature has definitely been in our head - the obvious problem, of
course, is if the API is having issues, and you host a status API in the
same place

Tim,

We are working on this for our forthcoming developer site. Mark should
be posting to the list in the coming days to get feedback from
everyone on what they would like to see.

We know it's needed and look forward to finally having something in place.

Best, Ryan
