Gmail has been down all day! 3/1/2007
I use Gmail for most of my mail these day. Today has been hard. Gmail has been down since mid-morning, so I can’t access my mail. Not with FireFox, not with IE, not with WAP, not with the Java Mobile phone applet I have.
With all the rave about software as a service and applications and data “out there in the cloud”, this highlights a downside – there is no one I can call, no one I can fire for this mishap. My only recourse is to wait, and wait, and wait. . .and then switch to another email account!
I think it’s you my friend. I’ve been in and out of GMail all day today with no problems.
Me, too. I have been using GMail all day.
Same here. All day long I’ve been in my gmail.
Me too – my gmail has been down since 5 AM.
Here is a disadvantage of that “cloud” thing – You don’t own that cloud. If it goes down because some googler f’ed up, guess what – you’re SOL.
Sahil,
Glad it not JUST me. 🙂
Yep. I don’t own the cloud.
Jeff,
It has been spotty for me today. And when I did connect successfully, it was S-L-O-W. Not just Gmail either, but Reader too. What are our choices? Given what’s out there, I’ll stick it out with Google.
Cheers,
Jason
that’s when “online apps” remind us of their weaknesses
