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

By Co-editor • on May 14, 2009

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:

“@kristiluv812: wut the… is google / gmail down for anyone?? its not loading for me :( ”

“@lapresmidi: Life without Google kind of sucks. Even if it’s only for an hour or two.”

“@ckorhonen: Is google down? The internets seem awfully slow.”

“@buran: I just noticed that Google Talk isn’t logging in either… I am using Google for mail because I thought they were RELIABLE.

“@ipreferpi314: @thehao wow, I’m actually using search.twitter to see progress on massive google outage, what kind of messed up world is this…im scurred”

Stay tuned for updates.

    First time I experienced Google down. Lots of websites are using their scripts too for stats tracking, etc. Not good.
