Gmail Problems ???


Google Gmail Having Problems Again

Google Inc (GOOG.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) said on Monday that many users of its Gmail service are having trouble accessing their online e-mail accounts due to a temporary outage in a contacts system used by Gmail.

The problems began at about 2100 GMT, or 1400 PST, and a company spokesman said Google is starting to implement a fix for the problem right now.

“We are starting to roll out a fix now and hope to have the problem resolved as quickly as possible,” said a Google spokesman.

Google said an outage in the contacts system used by Gmail is preventing the e-mail system from loading properly. The company also said that the new incoming messages are safe evenif a user can not access their account.

Google Gmail users have trouble accessing accounts.

It seems that Google is having another of its hic-cups once again, but this time the downtime seems more serious. It appears that the down time is world wide and Google is struggling to get it fixed. According to this article at TechCrunch which states:

Gmail is having a system wide outage affecting multiple countries, and a whole bunch of its 100 million users are screaming about it on Twitter. Around 20 million people visit Gmail each day, according to Comscore, and they’re all seeing the same message. The first outages were reported at about 2 pm PST, 44 minutes ago. The Gmail blog is silent on the outage, instead giving readers some useful tips on customizing web clips.

Hello Google! Could you please post something on your blog letting us gmail users know what the heck is going on? This isn’t funny any longer. Your service is coming under deeper scrutiny by all of us. Shape up Google!

What do you think? Can we trust Google with our data? Or are they becoming another Yahoo?
