Gmail is down
When Gmail goes down, the world stops…. rare for them to post on their blog. It is quite amazing to realise just how reliant we are on this. I would love to see what is being said at the big G HQ right now!
UPDATE – here is there explanation….
Gmail’s web interface had a widespread outage earlier today, lasting about 100 minutes. We know how many people rely on Gmail for personal and professional communications, and we take it very seriously when there’s a problem with the service. Thus, right up front, I’d like to apologize to all of you — today’s outage was a Big Deal, and we’re treating it as such. We’ve already thoroughly investigated what happened, and we’re currently compiling a list of things we intend to fix or improve as a result of the investigation.
You can read exactly why it happened here. It’s good to see they are taking this so seriously, as they should do, even with a free service.
