Thanks @Pingdom – had ten mins free this morning so wrote this!

If you want to have Twitter update your own feed with up/down reports:

@Simon Pearce: The ability to post via your own Twitter use is on its way (right now you can either get a DM or a status message to @youruser from @pingdomalert). Regarding customizing Twitter alert content, no immediate plans, but we’ll look into it.

@Dan Butcher + 1

(didn’t realise it didn’t already do that – not much use to us then!)

Can we customise ‘tweets’?

We’d like to use something like “ooops – looks like serverx is having a problem. Don’t worry, we’re on to it!”

@Dan Butcher: Good idea, and one that’s occurred to us as well. It’s on our to-do list.

The ability to post from our twitter account would be great, so any of our followers would know something was down.
I don’t use Pingdom at the minute, but this would probably make me switch

@Stefan Seiz: All “public” tweets from @pingdomalert are directed to a specific Twitter user (starting with @twittername). You won’t see those in your timeline even if you follow @pingdomalert. Only those directed at your user. (And ok, those users you follow, if they show up.)
