I hope it won’t be that common in future. I do not want to be out of my gmail when I need it the most.

Seems like the outage was restricted to US only (?), cause over here (IE) nothing was down... Otilia Otlacan's last blog post..comScore Enhances Reporting of Ad Networks’ Audiences - YuMe Concerns Addressed

Yikes, if they behave like twitter, they will lose their dominant position in no time at all. I can accept such downtime but if it becomes a habit, then I am prepared to discard gmail. jeflin's last blog post..Overhead Supply Can Trap Your Money

It was definitely a pain for me but better than few other mail servers where i don't receive emails for 4 hours or more, which also a partner of company like HOSTWAY. San Nayak's last blog post..Visiting San Francisco, California

with any email/hosting service there is always a tiny fraction of a chance that it goes down… thats why this is life.. and not just a perfect story…

I check my gmail through outlook using the POP3 servers, and I never have had down time, even today. I think its kinda funny that so many use the web interface. I like using a local mail client because it allows me to back everything up and work while away from a WiFi signal.
