timely Internet news

[Ken Varnum]

There are several such services (I had seen such a thing a while ago and just did a quick search in HotBot for "Internet Weather Services":

UCLA Internet Weather Report
http://www.cns.ucla.edu/weather.html

Internet Weather Report
http://internetweather.com/

And multitudinous others.  All these reports seem to be from the perspective of the host providing the report; I haven't found one that summarizes multiple reports into some kind of general "forecast" for the U.S. or Europe.

Dear Web4libbers,
	Friday morning 16th I was doing a demonstration of search
engines to media specialists from the local schools.  I couldn't
get into a single one!  My director was having a terrible time
sending email.  We decided the Internet was greying out somewhere.

Is there a site that gives up-to-date traffic reports on the Internet?
We managed to work around it, and of course all the commercial sites
like Netscape popped right up.  It might be a useful service for some
enterprising commercial site to provide. Regional crashes (weather,
backhoes, overloads), national and international tie-ups, etc, sort of
like an Internet weather report.
