GMail down: yes, it does happen
November 8, 2004
This, kids, is why you should never use Beta software for anything critical. Not even if it's good ol' Google.
Thankfully, I have three separate backup email addresses, all on different domains. It is very unlikely that all of them will be down at the same time so I'm generally reachable at all times.
Update (16 November): To the scumbag who's trying to guess my GMail password and clicking the "forgot password" link so many times - give up, doofus! I used to be a sysadmin, so my passwords all look like "rj87iy90l" and I can actually remember them.
Large webmail boxes are good only for one thing - collecting p0rn ;-)
I have seen this before and I am sure we will see it more, that said, there is NO web mail service where I have not seen a similar notice - why single out GMail?

Then I checked out some other emails as well.
Wierd I thought!
I took the gmail account because I kept getting invites. I only use it to invite other people to gmail.
