Unless you are living on a foreign planet and not connected to the internet in any way you may have heard about Gmail being down. During the time of this post Gmail has been down and the reactions I have read here are puzzling me.

I have had a gmail account since early 2005. Free of charge. I have been using it to send and receive thousands of mails. Free of charge. Gmail outlived a couple of my computers and a windows osx switch. Free of charge.

And now they are (partially) down for a couple of minutes and hell freezes over. For some.

Not for me. So Gmail guys and girls. A big thank you and keep up the good work. I am sure you will find the problem and fix it. In the meantime, I will go and take a good night sleep.

    Unless you use it for your business and spend hundreds of thousands on Google professional services such as Postini and e-discovery. This comes six weeks after we launched Google Apps. I will not sleep good tonight.

    @Chris Totally understand your issue. I rely also on google apps. But the improper language users have vented are … well not in place IMHO.

    I completely agree Fokke,

    Gmail and Amazon S3 go down and the world wobbles.

    Whilst free is good and enables people like Chris to build a business at a far reduced cost the risks are inherently higher. S3 and Gmail are fantastic services which will, due to their incredible growth, go down every now and then.

    Free is free, quality sometimes costs.
