> what response time do you expect on a page like that?
Faster than a free third-party website’s response time. Google should know they are down and tell people about it before Hacker News, Twitter, etc. Google should be the source of truth for Google service status, not social media.
> And what level of detail?
Enough to not tell people that there are “No issues” with services.
> I'd much rather have their team focus on fixing this as fast as possible than trying to update that dashboard in the first 5 minutes.

Google employs enough people to do both.
