This is really creepy. When I start my browser (Firefox, of course), the first two tabs that load are my personalized Google start page (www.google.com/ig) and Gmail. Both are currently down (as is plain old google.com). I’m getting a timeout error on all of them right now, whereas 10 minutes ago I was at least getting a Google-generated error page for Gmail – I think it was a 350 error.
I don’t know if this is a localized phenomenon, but it sure feels like the internet is broken right now.
[UPDATE] Looks like it was only unavailable for a couple of hours. Still, weird.

I didn’t pay much attention to it, but I too had problems reaching Google. Logically I did not think about problems at Google, but rather blamed someone closer to my PC for the time-outs. After all, the big ol’ Google can’t be down, can it?

Google Earth Gmail Orkut
What to do? Never realized that my Gmail account is the only account where I get the news…
DAMN!
There were speculation going around about google sucking too much power for their digital farm…
… this can’t be happening… day of judgment is really really close…

Same problem here, have you heard anything from the news sources or blogs. I can not believe a major website is down for the bussy time of the year and nobody noticed it.
