Gmail Service Outage?

Anyone else seeing this? I’ve been getting either 404 Not Found or 503 Service Unavailable errors when trying to access my Gmail account. I first noticed this about 1:50pm PDT (GMT -8), but suspect it’s been going on a bit longer. What’s up?

Funny, I was just thinking I need to switch to Gmail exclusively. Hmmm.

UPDATE: As quick as I saved this post, Gmail came back online (2:38pm PDT). It wasn’t just me, posts in the Gmail-Users Group seem to confirm the outage.

    Gmail was out from about 3:30pm-5:30pm EST yesterday (4 May 06). Surprised that Googling “gmail outage” on Google News brings up nada.

    Steve Rubel points out the absence any mention of the outage in the media, but like one of the comments to his post says,

    “I’m glad the press doesn’t waste time on things like this.”

    I have to agree; this isn’t news worthy. It is however, blog-worthy. It’s up to us to keep each other informed.

    Hey Google, what about a network status page like this one?
