Hm, I don't get why sites like http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/github.com say it's up. Can anyone explain this?

Works fine for me here in Sweden. Might be a localized issue?

Ah, because it seems to be up again. That was quick.

These numbers are probably the reason why niantic was totally caught by surprise and have these massive server issues. I really don't like to see the app offline every time I have to go for a longer walk, but hey, I take it easy and wait for either niantiv upgrading their ressources or the userbase to shrink, which shouldn't take too long imo.
