Just in: GMail is down, for now
You can quit hitting refresh, GMail is definitely down or spotty for many users right now.
Mashable reported that many frustrated tweeters are complaining about the outage (on Twitter, natch) and Google has acknowledged the intermittent access issues:
“We’re aware of a problem with Google Mail affecting a majority of users. The affected users are unable to access Google Mail. We will provide an update by September 1, 2009 4:53:00 PM UTC-4 detailing when we expect to resolve the problem. Please note that this resolution time is an estimate and may change.
Our team is continuing to investigate this issue. We will provide an update by September 1, 2009 5:16:00 PM UTC-4 with more information about this problem. Thank you for your patience. Users can access their email via IMAP or POP. You can find instructions for how to do this here.”
Thank God for Twitter and Facebook- otherwise we might be forced to go outside and get some fresh air.
