Is this website down or is it just me?

Is This Website Down or Is It Just Me? 
When a website is down, use downforeveryoneorjustme to see whether the problem is on your end or theirs. Save yourself some hassle with this free web tool!

If you're like me, you sometimes come across websites that just don't seem to cooperate with you.  Perhaps they never load, or you get some sort of an error message. It can be frustrating.

The good news is that there is a free website to help you quickly determine whether the problem is with your online computer access or whether it's a problem with the website itself.

The site is DownForEveryoneOrJustMe.com. This is what it looks like. Yes, this is the entire home page:
Down For Everyone

Simply type the link into their search box, click the link, and go. Downforeveryoneorjustme will give you an immediate response and offer to help you access other sites . 

According to TechCrunch.com, this bare-bones site was created by a Twitter employee. It's sure a handy tool!Knowing whether the problem is on your end or theirs helps you know whether to check your own internet service or whether to wait for the site to come back online.
