Ok, I would like to take this opportunity to ask something about HN. What if, say a month later Gmail.com goes down again. Then, how do I submit another post to HN? I mean wouldn't I be redirected to this one?

Submitting the link of a dead site has never really made any sense to me in the first place. If the company has a separate status page, post the most specific URL from that page. If not, perhaps an external checker like http://www.isup.me with a (manually entered) query string for the date would be appropriate.

Yeah, it's a common internet meme. Often you will see the word 'one' in there as well. e.g. !!!11!!!one!!

Seems to work in Firefox, for anyone who needs to urgently access their Gmail. Still down in Chrome for me (Error 502), though it's not crashing the browser.

Is this affecting Chrome as well? Looks like it might be a bigger problem. It just crashed for three guys in our office within a few seconds of each other. Edit: Nobody was using Gmail at any point.

Probably not the time to rub people's face in it, but I host my own mail server because of crap like this. Thread from the other day: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4886236

I use gmail via IMAP on mutt and it still works fine, although the Web UI is giving 502 and other various errors. I guess it's just an issue with the front-end, not the mail server itself.
