Systemwide GMail Outage
Google’s Gmail application is down for almost everyone right now, but at least you can still view your account via the older HTML version. In a surprising turn of events, Twitter is actually working, giving many a Gmail user the opportunity to kvetch about Google’s downtime. How ironic.
Gmail is having a systemwide outage affecting multiple countries, and a whole bunch of its 100 million users are screaming about it on Twitter
. Around 20 million people visit Gmail each day, according to Comscore, and they’re all seeing the same message. The first outages were reported at about 2 pm PST, 44 minutes ago. The Gmail blog
is silent on the outage, instead giving readers some useful tips on customizing web clips.
We’re waiting on Google for a comment on the reason for the outage
