Everything google is dead. Gmail, adsense etc. Any of my web pages that have Adsense code will not load, they freeze part-way through.

This is your chance to write those articles you have been thinking about.

Or else it's time to turn off the computer, maybe get the laundry done haha!

    I just went to google.com and logged into my account just fine.

    However, the internet, as a whole, has been wonky today - up and down. Then again, that's typical for me and I can pretty much set my watch to it as it happens nearly the same time each day, day after day. Bellsouth/AT&T DSL stinks in my neck of the woods.

      There was a notification on adsense about some downtime today, but I can't remember the exact times.

      My internet is SUPER slow today. Takes about 5 minutes to load a page and I'm on cable.

        Dan's content is irregularly read by handfuls of people. Join the elite few by reading his blog: dcrBlogs.com, following him on Twitter: dcrTweets.com or reading his fiction: dcrWrites.com but NOT by Clicking Here!

        Dan also writes content for hire, but you can't afford him anyway.

            Twitter was crazy with google-down posts for a while.

            Google came back up, before my laundry got into the machine. Oh well, noble ambitions.

            So, you want to sell me another way to easily make "X" dollars in "X" days? ROFL too funny! IM success requires hard work and lots of time. Most newbies do not survive the steep learning curve. Anyone who says otherwise is probably selling you a fantasy.

    People make good money selling to the rich. But the rich got rich selling to the masses.

    just saw this out on reuters
    Perhaps you may have noticed the seas boiling red with blood, the whore of Babylon rising, and the Antichrist roaming the Earth, strewing carnage in his wake. That's because Google (GOOG) crashed this morning. Yes, you read that right: Google went down.
    To be precise, Google News crashed between 8:40 and 9:55 ET, and millions of people searching for today's top stories had to go elsewhere--even actual news Web sites! Data Center Knowledge writer Rich Miller claims that the outage happened as Google tried to upload YouTube video links to news items.
    And it didn't end with Google News, either. Reports have been twittering around the country that Google Calendar and Gmail have been affected, and even Google's main page was reportedly disrupted in some areas. Google has acknowledged problems with Calendar and Gmail on its Apps Dashboard page here. But so far, the company has offered no official explanation as to what happened. We've asked Google's reps to explain and will let you know what's going on as soon as we find out.
    So far, it's unclear how widespread Google's meltdown was. Some reports indicate that the problem was centered in the Northeastern United States, but ComperWorld writer Steven Vaughn-Nichols reports that people as far away as Europe and Australia are experiencing extremely slow performance from Google sites. He also thinks this may be a massive hack job, a denial of service attack on Google.
    Again, we'll update you as we know more.
