What I'm trying to anticipate is the objection to *also* posting to Twitter, which might be raised on the grounds that it's too "unofficial", or "unsupported" or something like that.
Anecdotal, of course, but I found twitter to be very useful during the SF Bay Area fiber cuts a few months back. I was able to fairly quickly get reports of who was down (UnitedLayer) and who wasn't (everyone else), and made some good contacts, some of whom I've done business with since (Cernio). Set up a twitter account for outage/event notifications, and don't *ever* use it for marketing.
