Zapier is seeing widespread outages on:

    * Google Tasks
    * Google Drive
    * Google Calendar

Seems like Spreadsheets and Gmail are still chugging along fine though (though we've some Oauth issues).

Edit: looks like Tasks, Drive and Calendar are back as of about a minute ago! (~Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at 4:05 AM UTC)

Since you integrate with some many web services, have you ever considered publishing a dashboard of their statuses?

We have one internally, we've talked about opening it to the public (we'd have to scrub data a little better as it is). Would there be interest in this?

In a word, yes. We've looked at doing something similar for upstream telecom providers as we interconnect with so many of them. When someone drops a DS3 somewhere we know about it and folks in the industry would love access to that info.

I can tell you that I would love to have an API health Dashboard, and I'd love it even more if you made an API for it.

But then wouldn't you need an API Health Dashboard API heatlh dashboard?

Who monitors the monitoring systems?

Sup dawg, I heard you like monitoring dashboards, so I added a monitoring dashboard to your monitoring dashboards so you can monitor dashboards while you monitor dashboards!

You say that; but then you realize that a non empty set of nagios plugins monitor other monitoring systems...

Jeff Dean.

But then, what about if that goes down?
