I don't like the negative vibes I get from http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ instead giving tip how to stay up it's purposed to say if website is down.
It's normal that companies die. What advice would you give them?
'is it down for everybody or just me?' is a neutrally-framed status reporter. The 'vibes' I speak of are the way in which 'Dead Yet?' is, fundamentally by its name, presumptuous (in my opinion). Therefore I don't think you have a great analogy there but I do see your point that my 'feedback' point was perhaps a bit too general — it would just be nice to be able to review a startup (a small disqus comment thread on the page, for example) rather than just pointing the finger at its deadness.
I don't personally have generic advice off-the-bat for company-wide failure avoidance I'm afraid.
