During the outage, https://twitter.com/HNStatus went from somewhere around 300 to 1163 followers.

Earlier today I saw it had about 45 followers. I think it was a new account. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

I'm surprised HN is using twitter instead of one one of their investments, Statuspage.io.

Their first post is dated 28 July - https://twitter.com/HNStatus/status/361707202123268096

I sure hope that isn't literal. I've heard of "grammar nazis" but that would be ridiculous. Stay safe!

here's a tweet from July 28th, so it's not a new account https://twitter.com/HNStatus/status/361707202123268096

It has tweets from as far back as July of 2013.

I actually looked for a twitter account, but didn't know which would be official. Then jgrahamc retweeted hnstatus and I knew which to follow.
