Two weeks ago we released the beta of our new public report pages (also known as status pages), and we’ve been overwhelmed by the positive feedback we’ve received from our users.
Not only did people say a lot of nice things…
Webmasters everywhere started using the new public reports right away… (The reports are available to all Pingdom users.)
Great examples of custom designs
Quite a few of our users have taken advantage of the possibility to create their own themes for the public report page, matching the design with their own brand.
Here are a few (partial) screenshots of cool examples we’ve come across:
There are plenty of other examples out there, but we hope these gave you an idea of what’s possible.
Thank you for all the feedback, keep it coming!
We’ve received a ton of great feedback so far, and we really appreciate hearing back from you. You’re helping us shape these reports, making them even better and more useful for you, our users. We’ve already made improvements based on your suggestions.
You can still make your voice heard. Please email beta at pingdom dot com with any feedback you may have (put “public reports” in the subject line). And to those of you who have already shared your thoughts and ideas with us, a big thank you!
Want to test your site every minute?

Perceptions matter, and the perception of Nokia in the news, on the web, and in the minds of many, is that things aren’t going that well. Even in the Pingdom office, we hear “Nokia is doomed,” but do the numbers support this belief?
Looking at the statistics, Symbian leads the mobile operating system race with just over 30% of web browsing traffic. That’s down slightly from late last year, when we noted that Symbian finished 2011 as the top mobile operating system, with almost 34% of the mobile OS market.
What is even more interesting, however, is that Nokia is also ahead when we look at figures for all the mobile handset vendors. In fact, Nokia is way ahead of Apple, and Android lags far behind.

By some measures, more than 7 billion people now inhabit the world, and more than a third of us are on the Internet. But how many are added each day, each week, or each minute? We think we have a pretty good idea.
Read on for some pretty amazing numbers.

Hi,
This is a question on your post:
“The money made by Microsoft, Apple and Google, 1985 until today
Posted in Main on April 9th, 2010 by Pingdom”
Do the profits include salaries given to employees?
Where does this profit go?
Thanks,

I miss having an easy access to see the month’s and overall uptime in the old uptime page. Hope it can be done.

@Jay: You can still view all months in a table if that’s what you want. Just select that option from the drop-down “history” list.

It is less convenient and it only shows the month’s uptime, not the overall uptime over the entire monitored period.

Yes, why have you removed the “Downtime” column from the “all months” table.
Here it is on the old reports: http://spdr.me/tTCC
But it is missing from the new reports: http://spdr.me/C1Us
Could you please give us an option to enable this?

@James Cocker: Good suggestion. It really should be in there by default. We’ll fix that in the near future (we’ve put it down as a future improvement).

@Pingdom. Great, thanks! Although probably best as a toggleable option, and some companies may not like to make it so easy for users to view their total monthly downtime!

@James Cocker: It is a toggable option.
Public report page / public status pages are not activated by default, and you can also select which checks you want to include in it.

@Pingdom I mean having the Monthly Total Downtime column on the Public Reports optional. It’s nice to be able to give clients current/recent uptime. And it’s one thing them being able to view the length of each individual downtime, but I can see how some companies would not want to blatantly display their monthly total downtime in hours. It just makes it too real. Uptime % doesn’t look as bad.
