    I just checked, google.com, google news, google trends, gmail, youtube... looks like all of google's services are down.

    So even the Big G can have downtimes...

    Run a traceroute, the issue is most likely not with Google as I can also visit all those services.

    The site is up for me. There is probably some disruption to a bank of routers or switches or something.

    Works well in Australia. Is that your connection problem? Try to run tracert to trace.

    not likely that all of Google is down, may specific datacenters?

    It wasn't down at all, it was google's dns servers in your area going down.

    They sometimes do for updates or for network maintenance.
