"Everything is fine, unless you're Carl. There's a massage outage, but only at Carl's house. Sorry, Carl."

I remember when S3 was down and the status was green because the updates for the status page with pushed via S3.

Azure too. During the most recent outage a couple weeks ago their Twitter account acknowledged the incident an hour before the status page did.

So no matter where you go for your cloud services, you're guaranteed a useless status page. Yippee.
