Is Gmail down again?

This is when real-time search is really useful:
http://www.plurk.com/psearch#q=gmail and
http://search.twitter.com/search?q=gmail
It's down and it's down all over the world.

it is down - http://www.google.com/appsstatus
Besides of the above URL, http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ works not only for google but any other service too. However, I got suggested that tool via twitter, but I have no clue how it works or how reliably it is.

"Looks down from here" suggests to me that it's simply doing an HTTP GET and interpreting the returned status code (or timing out). http://downforyouaswellorjustme.com/ would probably be more accurate.

right. Even better the service could become if they'd watch the status pages for the services they'dget asked about. But takes a little more effort than a plain GET.
I didn't know that such a google-page actually exists, thanks. btw: gmail works for me at the moment (although its status is marked with "Service outage").
You have to expect these things from a beta service :p
Down for me briefly, a few minutes ago.
It is back online now.. I wonder how much productivity gets affected even with 5 secs of downtime
You mean productivity gained? :-)
Well, it is a free service. (Working for me now, fwiw.)
I pay by looking at ads from time to time.
Fine for me.. but a friend tweeted it was down.
Same here - Temporary Error (500)
up for me on IMAP the whole past hour

Not to sound negative or anything, but are we going to have a story anytime a popular service like gmail, MSN, twitter or whatever goes down?
Also, aren't you guys supposed to work at this hour? ;)
