I'm with Hund. It was only monitoring the cached, unauthenticated news page, which was up throughout the downtime. However, it now monitors the authenticated news landing as well.

Mistake on our part (Hund) for not monitoring authentication. This page is unofficial and was made by a co-founder several years ago.

I'm with Hund. Our hn.hund.io page did not catch this because it was requesting the cached, unauthenticated page. It now monitors authentication as well.

If I'm not mistaken, Rdio's engineering team helped build Pandora's on-demand service. I've switched to it from Spotify after using Rdio in the past. Its recommendations feel similar to Rdio's, but the interface is a bit lacking. There aren't general recommendations. Instead, you must build a playlist and then you can add a set of recommended songs to the playlist. Of course, there are also radio stations.

The biggest benefit over StatusPage.io is that our platform's design focuses on automation through integrations with third parties. StatusPage.io pages can only be automated through their direct integration with PagerDuty, or by parsing email notifications (from services like New Relic or Pingdom). We have the ability to add countless integrations with third parties for both monitoring and notifications.

Branding is important for companies, so we've chosen to offer complete white-labeling on our single plan. We leverage Let's Encrypt so that status pages can be instantly configured to use a secure custom domain.

These are just a few of the key differences, our features section outlines these and more.

Seeing a bit of inspiration from Quora; nice idea and execution.

You're capitalizing last names, whereas names can start with lowercase letters (as does mine). The content shouldn't be pushed to the right, it's harder to read, consider moving the topic list to the right side instead. The line length isn't too bad, but reading is made much worse when it's pushed to the right because of the topic list.
