Twitter Ping checks Twitter services

I put a small service together on 32Hours to “ping” Twitter services.  The services available to check Twitter were not helping me much, so I decided to write a little app that actually checks a few extra things:

1) Is Twitter is up (they all do this, but it’s not enough now that Twitter “degrades”)

2) Checks the Twitter service response (http response - 200’s are good)

3) How long it takes to connect to Twitter

4) how long it takes to finish the entire process of getting the public timeline.

If you’d like to have a look (close your eyes, it’s working, but not purty yet) it’s on 32Hours, the link is on the left under “Software / Gadgets”
