Google is down, but is it out? The day the Google Earth Stood Still!

There have been tens of thousands of tweets on Twitter this morning all about Google and Gmail’s outage.  The site is moving very sluggish and a simple Google search takes up to two minutes to respond.  Users are also reporting that Gmail is completely down on both the web and devices such as the iPhone.

Today, may go down in history as “The day the Google Earth stood still.”

Updates from Twitter:
