Google Services Down?

Imagine a future world where we have a p2p search index (search.yacy.de), p2p social media (twister.net.co), p2p video streaming (tribler.org) and flatr, gratipay, karma, upvote, adsense through cryptocurrency. Would we still need a Google?

The future is now.

I tried replying to your email, but it bounced because your mail server mandates STARTTLS. I have postfix with opportunistic enabled, so not sure where the problem is.

There's apparently a massive multi-service outage:

"Gmail, Google Docs and Google+ Suffering Service Outages Around the World" http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/gmail-google-docs-google-suffering-...

I'm bumped out of my G+ profile. IMAPS access to gmail still works, so I suspect something on the Web front-end.

And ... it's back.

Just noticed this when I tried to read usenet... http://groups.google.com/ is also down; server just says 404.

Just when i wanted to show Google Spreadsheets as a simple CMS to a client... I couldn't use it decently...

Altough creating a new spreadsheet worked (thank god).

Hehe - currently working on a project doing exactly the same thing ;) But no client demo right now!

Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Talk, Google Drive, Google Sites, Google Groups, Admin Console, Google Hangouts all are down.

Does it bring anyone else a little comfort to know even Google has downtime every now and then?

I'm actually tremendously impressed with how little downtime they have.

I've got numerous other complaints of the company, but its technical acumen in provisioning and reliability are spectacular.

Yes, Me... Its a relief to know.

All services are working in Central EU. USA only?

Down here in Poland as well.

Was down in Australia too

Was down in France

was down in The Netherlands too, around 20 minutes or so.

Gtalk is certainly down as I write.

It's up again now..
