Gmail Outage

So, Gmail is down. Service outage.

Complaints and frustrations are pouring in, even when some have been experiencing the downtime only for a few minutes now. Innumerable tweets about the outage have made Gmail one of the Trending Topics on Twitter. Tech crunch posts a related article about 7 minutes ago, and there are 115 comments already.

I just want to say, Google rocks!

P.S. Yes, they are continually assuring us that they are looking into the problem. They have also put up videos with step by step instructions on how to access you email via IMAP or POP.

  1. Nice post. It is always good to see people expressing themselves in different ways.

    Since you seem to be associated with Management, I would like to suggest you a new magazine - PEOPLE MATTERS started by an ISB Alumni, which was suggested to me by a friend and which I have found very useful.

    It deals with various important aspects of management, especially those related to Leadership & People Management.

    It's also relatively cheap. I guess its annual subscription is about Rs. 400 (US$ 8 approx) which is even less than the cost of a standard Pizza.

    Their last issue had an enlightening article by Robert Kaplan (the co-founder of Balanced Scorecard method, if you remember) where he talks about how organisations can create opportunities out of current economic downturn.

    I got its subscription online through their website: http://www.peoplematters.in

    If you like the magazine, kindly refer it to your friends or colleagues in the organization you work. They may be interested in subscribing to it.

    Thanks
