As of this posting (May 29th 2008 4:51 PM), Google is down and has been that way for probably the past 45 minutes as I’ve noticed it. I Yahoo’d to find out any news about Google going down, but to no avail. I decided to then write to Techcrunch/ReadWriteWeb, because they are people who have sources to obtain such information (at least far better than what I can). Probably will be up on their blogs in a while.
What I wanted to point out is, we are so Google dependant that in the time it was down, I had no way to contact either blogs to let them know it is down (although I think they already do know it, since a lot of their work requires some kinds of research and they would most probably be using Google for it).
As of now, I can’t get access to my feeds, my e-mail, my notebook, orkut, or regular good old search. Is this time to start Yahooing or Liv(e)ing? What is surprising though is that even though Gmail is not working, GTalk is, and it even reports the number of e-mails I have unread.
Update (May 29th 2008 5:05 PM): Google is back up but behaving very erratically.
Update (May 29th 2008 5:30 PM): Google seems to be back up and at it.
