It happens time and again that you try to access a website and some creepy error creeps up. Either the site gives a 503 Server timeout error, or the page is not found (404) or some other technical mumble jumble. Leaves us figuring “Hey is the site down?”. What do we do? We ask our friends and acquaintances if they can access the website and keep guessing. Right?
The web can be unfair. For the same reason a number of tools have been created that monitor a website’s uptime. While all of them showoff their technical epxertise by verloading you with statistics and codes, there is one which is pretty to the point.
That is what Down for Everyone or Just Me looks like. Just enter the websites domain URL and hit ENTER (or click “or just me”) and presto – it checks the website from multiple access points and sees if the site loads. Consequently, it will return the result in a cheeky manner – if the site is down for you alone or if life is fair. All in a matter of few seconds. And then you can be happily on your way to ruling the web and what not.

What I Say (WiSy for short) is an emerging reviews blog from India. We review anything and everything under the sun which has an India connection. We define the India connection as: Either from India, or for Indians, or by Indians, not limited by the geography of India and not influenced by the Polity of India. The blog was started on August 16, 2009.
We are also working towards our first web-show – The WiSy Video Reviews. We currently show advertising through Adsense and do write sponsored posts. After we complete 6 months of existence, we will publish our traffic stats.
