Google mail is down again…

It seems that Google Mail is down again this afternoon – first having problems accessing address books, now the mail is not working at all…

Having used Gmail for many years, and Google apps for 2 or 3 now, all my email routes through Google, as well as many clients I have recommended use it.

There are so many advantages for commercial email accounts, hooking in with Blackberries, being able to share and collaborate on docs etc…

But they need to ensure that the dependency and trust they encourage is warranted and deserved. As far as I know there have been several major outages this year alone. If this trend continues, many corporate users, including myself and clients, will be seeking other solutions.
