Twitter is becoming a part of nearly everyone’s daily lifestyle, and is the focus of many Web App’s created today. HootMonitor combines Twitter with Website Analytic’s and statistics, mainly on up and down time. HootMonitor will constantly monitor any website you give it and send you either a Direct Message via Twitter, Email, Text or all three when one of the websites you listed goes down, and then send you another when the site is back up.

If you head on over to HootMonitor.com you are welcomed with a clean and friendly homepage explaining what HootMonitor does, and what features you get. HootMonitor is free to use, but there is also a premium feature which enables more detailed stat’s, reports and a higher monitoring rate, and this is reasonably priced, and a free 14 day trial is available.

It is as simple as signing in with Twitter’s OAuth or using Facebook connect, both quick, easy and secure. You will then have the chance to set up accounts, which are almost like groups, which you can then add the websites that you want monitored to, select which alerts you want, and purchase any extras like Premium or Text credits. You can also enter in extra details like your Email and mobile phone number to receive alerts via them.

Your sites will then be checked and monitored, and when one goes down you will receive a message through whatever methods you have selected. With a Premium subscription you can also get extra graphs and stat’s to help you see your websites up and down time.

HootMonitor is something that anyone with a website should at least try, as it will help inform you when a website is down, so that you can find and fix the problem to get the site back up again. Best of all you don’t have to enter your websites, you could enter big sites like Facebook and Twitter or any site if you like to see the stat’s on them. Still not convinced, then go and give it a try yourself at HootMonitor.com.
