I was looking for a way to check if a specific website was having server issues or if it was just me, and I stumbled across this tool called https://whosonline.net/ It basically lets you see real-time user activity on a bunch of big news and social media sites.

I’ve been low-key using it to gauge when a site is most active before I post a comment or to see if a news site is crashing because of traffic. It’s a simple idea, but I haven’t seen many tools like it.

Curious if anyone here has used it for news or discussion strategies. Do you find this kind of live user data useful, or is it just a neat gimmick?
