Pingdom is one of the most popular web services to monitor the uptime of your website. If you are a webmaster you might be already using Pingdom as it offers free account where you can monitor one website for free. One of the best features of Pingdom is that the monitor interval is one minute, the lowest among all the services and this helps you in quickly monitoring any downtime for your website.
Pingdom already has a desktop app for Windows which can monitor your website, but now they have released a Windows 8 app to alert you about your website downtime.
Setting up the app is very simple, you just need to login with your Pingdom account and all the sites available under your account are automatically available in the app. It shows graphical representation for response time as well as outages for each website.
