problem with this is that it can only tell you when it's back ON line. What if it goes down forever? You'll never know! If you had an MQTT connection to a broker with a last will and testament that caused a message to be sent to twitter when the connection dropped THEN you'd have a cool solution :)
And the client could publish a birth certificate to say it's back online so you can have peace of mind.

Yes, I did realise this at the time. Obviously with this approach I'd need a public server outside of my home which I don't have so this is a simple solution. Useful for recording problems after the event at least.
