GMail Experiences Serious Outage

JacobSteelsmith was one of many readers to note an ongoing problem with Gmail: "As I type this, GMail is experiencing a major outage. The application status page says there is a problem with GMail affecting a majority of its users. It states a resolution is expected within the next 1.2 hours (no, not a typo on my part). However, email can still be accessed via POP or IMAP, but not, it appears, through an Android device such as the G1." It's also affecting corporate users: Reader David Lechnyr writes "We run a hosted Google Apps system and have been receiving 502 Server Error responses for the past hour. The unusual thing about this is that our Google phone support rep (which paid accounts get) indicated that this outage is also affecting Google employees as well, making it difficult to coordinate."

    Was out for about an hour here in Seoul. All rosy now. I'm not sure how local this outage was.

    What I mean is that "it works me at place x" is pretty useless. How is it interesting reading 300 posts like that? Theres more intelligent things to discuss about it than if it happens to work for you at this very minute at your random location. It's already established that things are broken.
