Yeah the service went offline at 0930 GMT and began to return for many users after four hours, one of the longest downtimes ever suffered by Google.
gmail was offline for almost 7 hours... I was worried that Ive lost lots of data that I keep in my gmail account...
I was away from my home yesterday so I didnt notice this problem. I remember there was an error in google results few weeks back also ["This site may harm your computer"].
Hello... Yes heard on the news that they admitted it was there fault and offered 15-30 free something... Didnt get the whole story but it was on TV and google apologized for the minor mistake. thx malcolm
Like google maybe encountering some technical issues --its normal. Google runs on vulnerable technology.
google has also technology and programm so it may be up and down going on but still google is best compare to others tech.
According to Google, its e-mail service suffered an average of 10 to 15 minutes of downtime per month in 2008. The last outage of note was in August 2008 when users were unable to use Google Mail for "a couple of hours". (from BBC News)
