Google Suffers Major Outage
We have no details other than hundreds of Twitter reports that everything Google-related, such as Analytics, Gmail, FriendConnect, AdWords, Docs, etc., is non-functional for most people. Today is Google Fail Day and will forever be a reminder of how precarious it is to depend on a single entity for so much.
As of 12PM EST, most Google services began to come back online.

errr, gmail looking okay here in silicon valley.
Yes. Outages are sporadic and location-based it seems. And as of 12:13 PM EST, services are starting to return.
I remembered Googlezon while feeling so unable to use most of the internet. sites wouldn't load because of "connecting to analytics" twitter search wouldn't work, youtube, I tried searching yahoo to find out what was up, but the results sucked.
Gmail was down here in Europe too. You start to wonder if you should spread your "data" at different vendors in the future...
Google has become sclerotic over the past year.
It's frightening.
Google fail day well this is a first that I have ever heard of this, and I really had a good chuckle, so even something big like Google can have a bad day!!!
