Gmail is currently offline, for some reason or another and tons of people use it for business and personal. Try and remain calm as I’m sure Google is working on getting it up as I type this. It’s amazing to see how people on Twitter and Facebook freak out about Gmail being down.
Most common statement; “I thought it was just my account”
When this happens people panic and feel like something is wrong on their end. It’s not! Gmail is really down.
Here are some screen shots of some of the Tweets we found.
Here is some great advice from a tweeter that if everyone is so worried then they should invest into their own domain names. If you have your own domain name and hosting you can set-up your emails to go through your hosting account.
Update:Â People have tweeted that Gmail going down *could* overload other services like Twitter and Facebook.
