Google apologizes for Gmail outage

**MIG-31** · Feb 24, 2009, 01:28 PM

Business and personal users of Gmail suffered an outage starting about 1:30 a.m. PST Tuesday, but Google said it's fixed the problem.

"If you've tried to access your Gmail account today, you are probably aware by now that we're having some problems. Shortly after 10 9:30am GMT our monitoring systems alerted us that Gmail consumer and businesses accounts worldwide could not get access to their email," said Acacio Cruz, Google's Gmail site reliability manager, in a blog posting Tuesday. "We're working very hard to solve the problem and we're really sorry for the inconvenience."

Looks like they couldn't decide when exactly it went down, if you look at Google's blog :-)
