I still think a status page is the answer.

Opt all new customers in. Most solutions have opt-out links in the emails. The rest as they say should solve itself.

Most status systems can support twitter outputs for the presidentially inclined....though these days maybe snapchat is a a better notification medium to reach young hip sysadmins, and have your outages be forgotten about in 15 min.

Well, that's really the question. I assume others are doing it with some success and could tell me what they do. Perhaps just an e-mail twice a year to all the contacts asking them to update themselves. These are customers who can respond to e-mails and click links, but they aren't using RSS, guaranteed, and may not be using Twitter and the like. Slack? Not a chance. The only universal thing would be e-mail.

Also if we were hitting them with daily messages, such things would make sense. But nobody wants to monitor some channel for a message every other month.

    So, if the customers aren't technically adept or very prudent, how
    are you going to get them to self-maintain a list of key contacts?
    Or did I misunderstand the goal?
