The incident happened with me is "On Feb 24 I was accessing Youtube, after sometime I was unable to access Youtube. I thought it might be my connection problem, but when I tried other websites they were working fine. So I searched dig and I found YouTube was down for nearly half-an-hour."
Many people's are facing this problem, so Down for every one or just me gives you a service to check the given site is Down for all or just for you. Type a URL, and you'll find out if the whole world is seeing what you're seeing.
If you provide such a site which has big traffic surge, it might show you wrong result. For instance if you provide Youtube or Digg it will show you following wrong results.
