Google Outage

For a second, thanks to that headline, I thought this was a new service from Google (and frankly, I was excited for it).

It's oddly amusing that a similar outage occurred exactly one year ago, 17 April 2012: <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/17/2954949/gmail-outage-april-2012" rel="nofollow">http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/17/2954949/gmail-outage-april...</a>

&#62; Google Documents service has already been restored for some users, and we expect a resolution for all users in the near future. Please note this time frame is an estimate and may change.<p>So many words for "we're still working on it."

My hosting provider had some serious connection issues moments ago, and I'm seeing some major latency and packet loss at L3: <a href="http://internethealthreport.com/" rel="nofollow">http://internethealthreport.com/</a><p>Anyone have any insight?

Well that's an unfortunate coincidence. They only just sent out this email a couple of days back: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/yZOdKTb.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/yZOdKTb.png</a>

You gotta feel bad for that intern that tripped over a server cable.

Both apps- and non-apps working fine here in the UK.<p>From the status page: "This issue is affecting less than 0.007% of the Google Mail user base"

The UK University I work at is experiencing problems with IMAP connections and intermittent problems with Google Drive. I believe other UK Universities are also experiencing similar problems.<p>Web access to the same services seems OK though.

Drive and Docs are down now!

Of my 10 google apps for domain accounts, 9 were down. They seem to have all trickled back online over the past 30 minutes.<p>Looks like things are coming back online gradually.

I was expecting a blogpost about it with explanation like Cloudflare always has. But no, Google's not like that I guess.

Experiencing problems with IMAP connections!

My university google accounts were down earlier. They're back now though.

Google Groups also failing.

heh, as I was first scanning the HN homepage, I read this as "Google Outrage" and immediately thought it was talking about something like the scroogled campaign.
