Is it really necessary to post a thread every single time a large site goes down?

Not only that, I think it is really bad form to submit something like this without checking if it hasn't been submitted already.

Takes two seconds to scan 'new'.

Twitter seems to confirm that sentiment: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=Gmail+is+down

"336 more results since you started searching."

It's amazing to see how fast it's spreading through Twitter...

Great blistering balls of fail whale. Still not working for me. Guess I get what I pay for. Oh well, to the internets...

Great sentiment if you're using the free version, but we have clients hooked up to it paying £25 per account.

Thankfully, only 1 has noticed so far and she was quite accommodating. :)

Yes.This came six minutes later. But people came here because of the point and the number of comments.

I upvoted this one because gmail seemed more appropriate a link than twitter.

We're aware of a problem with Gmail affecting a small subset of users. The affected users are unable to access Gmail. We will provide an update by February 24, 2009 6:30 AM PST detailing when we expect to resolve the problem. Please note that this resolution time is an estimate and may change.

Reading this drives everyone to immediately check his account further increasing the load on the servers. Maybe we should sit back, relax and remember the times when email did not yet exist.
