Hmm. Must have been temporary. It seems to be back up againBlue Velvet said:
I even waited awhile to post it... ah, well. Apparently nothing to see here. Wonder what caused it?

Too many lurkers.
Have run a couple of searches. Seems to be A-OK to me...
Disconcerting... can't imagine using another search engine.
Aargh.
http://www.google.com is referring straight to google.co.uk for me.
But http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en seems to be working fine...

Both Google and Gmail are down here. Noticed it a few mins ago when I tried to check my e-mail. Thought it was just my parent's computer being dumb. Oh well, hopefully no big problems but being down at 7pm on a Sat. seems a little weird.
i cannot access Gmail.
different browsers, repairing conection, and restarts and still no dice.
hmm

I also noticed that it wasnt working for me but I didn't want to post because I though that it was just me.
I mean, google being down?
I don't think I would be able to live without google for 24 hours. I use it for EVERYTHING.

Google.com has been doing that for MONTHS for me (going to .co.uk), thought it was something they'd put in placeBlue Velvet said:
Yeah, just noticed gmail is down. I'm betting something changed on their end and it has to filter out to everyone's DNS servers.
For those of you that can't get to Google, try http://216.239.57.104

Yes is has for ages but you can change it to .com,unfortunately I've forgotten the address.
Is back for me now also.
Gmail has been down a while - but I haven't had any trouble getting to Google.
I don't know that it's Google's issue though. Looks like DNS - could be a simple mistake at Google's end, could be an attack on DNS in general or a poisoning attempt... could be almost anything.
