Gmail is Down
Gmail stopped responding after I sent a message to a colleague. Maybe I killed it?
This isn't really newsworthy or interesting. I just thought I'd post this as an experiment to see how many other people are experiencing the same thing.
[Update: things are back to normal. Based on the comments below and the spike in Gmail related search traffic we received from Google news (which was not down), it looks like I wasn't the only person having problems earlier today. Thanks to the Google representative who followed up with me on this.]

This used to happen fairly regularly during the day - it's gotten a lot better recently.

Gmail is just another step towards a world governed by Google!

Google employees have no time to look into problems with gmail which has been down for several hours.
