What's the use of a system status page that isn't up to date? Silly and pointless.

I have been an iCloud user since Day 1. My ".mac" email address is my main email - for everything.

I have found the Apple System Status page to be a complete and total waste of time. If there is an issue, I check Twitter to see if it is me or them.
