The issue was instantly reported on the old status page, but I didn't get the email announcement before 35 hours later. I think the problem is that you can hardly push out more than 100.000 emails (my guess) any faster, and that's why DreamHost is starting to use the blog and rss feeds more actively. We can both agree on it's a great idea, and I believe it will result in more timely announcements.

Last night when a large portion of their system was suffering outages, there was nothing said about it on the status page (I'm sure you got the email). Maybe because they were trying to do both things at the same time - finalizing the status page and fixing things. I do however think that this is a great idea, as long as they use it!
