As of approximately 20 minutes ago, it seems that the search giant is taking a little nap - Google Search, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Google Reader, and critically, Google Apps, all appear to be offline. This is not the first time Gmail has had a service outage, but may very well be the first time most, or all Google services, are offline at the same time. An official Google Twitter account to keep the public in touch with any outages would be highly benefitial in this situation. Of course, Google first need to realise that it's Twitter we're talking about here, not Wave - because Wave's not out yet. Stop work on new products and get polishing the downtime issues Google, because you're utopian 'We're all in the cloud together' outlook is not going to gel for very much longer if your services are offline. Note: You can check the online status of Google, Gmail, or any other website for that matter by visiting http://tr.im/oDIQ Status Updates As of 9:21am, 16th June GMT, all Google services appear to be back up and running. As of 9:14am, 16th June GMT, Google Search and Google Maps are back online. However Gmail, Calendar, Reader, Docs and other services are not yet back from the brink. |
