One of the most annoying parts of social network sites, such as Delicious, Digg and Reddit, are their ability to take down many sites or blogs on a moments notice. The sudden rush of traffic to a site, can bring it to it’s knees and take it down for an indefinite amount of time.
There are typically mirrors you can use, such as Google Cache, but it’s typically not quite the same as the actual site. Fortunately Mr. Uptime can notify you, as to when a site has been brought back to life and up and running as normal.
Mr. Uptime is a simple Firefox Extension, that continuously works in the background of your browser, attempting to access, inaccessible websites and automatically connecting to them, when they have been re-established.
You can setup several different sites, and even have a new tab or page open, as soon as the site comes back online. As technology progresses forward, there may not be a need for an application such as this. But presently, there still is a definite need.
