You should try doing this because I don't think it actually exists.

I do understand why the hackernews crowd is interested in the status of github. What I don't understand is why those same people don't know about status.github.com and @githubstatus already.

If github is a critical piece of your infrastructure, add a couple of bookmarks and never be in the dark again.
