Gmail: down

Apple received a lot of criticism lately for the .Mac to MobileMe transition. But Google today demonstrated that online email can be tough. Gmail has been down for a while now with no information except an error message.

If you need to get to your email you can still access the HTML basic version of Gmail. Even the professional Gmail app is down for the first time in 1,5 years. The Google Calendar and other Google apps seem to be working at this moment.

Server Error

Oh well…

UPDATED: The 502 Service Temporarily Overloaded message is gone. Gmail is up again. We can all relax again…

UPDATED 2: Google’s official statement: “We feel your pain, and we’re sorry“.

I hope you like that post!

    i encountered this some 3 weeks ago also; which may point to the beginning of the end, the total melt down of google serverism, the collaps of the internet… imagine! ;-)
