I’m on to you istwitterdown.com :) I have wondered, and have seen others wonder, if in fact IsTwitterDown.com actually checking. So now that it Twitter is most definitely down for maintenance, istwitterdown.com is still showing no.

So I looked at the HTML for istwitterdown.com, and it all made sense. If you click the “No” it takes you to a CD on Amazon. However, you will likely not buy that CD, but when you go back to Amazon and buy things, the person that owns the affiliate account for istwitterdown.com will get credit for sending you there and get a percentage of the profit.

Clever, I must admit. Not your standard search engine spam website. However, even more clever and without the hidden agenda, IsItChristmas.com. To make the joke complete, it even comes with an RSS feed.
