While no serious fallout was initially reported, countless users of Google's email were in the social media dark Jan. 24. Additionally, Google's other popular Web services, including Google Docs, Google Talk and Google Calendar all took a dive.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution put it plainly: "if you're watching this, congratulations! You've survived the Great Google Outage of Jan. 24, 2014."
Gmail and the other popular Google platforms went down about 12:15 Mountain Time Jan. 24, when millions of users began seeing a Temporary Error (500) message. Service was back up a little more than an hour later.
Google ultimately blamed the shutdown on "an internal system that generates configurations—essentially other information that tells other systems how to behave—encountering a software bug and generating an incorrect configuration."
Gmail is more popular than many of its rival services, boasting about 366 million desktop computer visitors worldwide in December, compared to Yahoo Mail's 273 million and 242 million users of Microsoft's Outlook.
"Gmail is down. World productivity is slowly grinding to a halt," quipped Aaron Levie, CEO of cloud storage start-up Box, in a post on Twitter.
