I think they have some kind of cutoff re: the number of people
affected.  I find that when I'm having a problem google admits they're
having; if I ask my friends if they're having the problem, and they're
not -- it doesn't show up on the appstatus.  I think it's like this:

I find that at the ISP where I work, if I describe a problem to tech
support or customers then every problem they have (no matter how ill
suited to the problem description) quickly becomes the problem I
described.  All debugging and troubleshooting halts and it's pretty
much the rare thing I described.

My hunch is that they don't include smaller outages on the appsstatus
board to avoid inference issues.
