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.
Wow. One web service goes down and you can't even use your browser. Maybe this is a sign that they're too tightly integrated.

My chrome is working fine. So is gmail. I'm in Bangladesh so maybe Asia is okay.

#233Ok, 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?
To clarify what Cyranix said, it's possible to add a useless query string on the end of a URL in order to have HN fail to match a URL that's already been submitted. So say SocialMobileLocal.com goes down and someone submits a link: status.socialmobilelocal.com When it goes down again a year later, you can submit: status.socialmobilelocal.com?foo=bar

Just to add some data: Did not crash for me. I am using sync and I have two gmail tabs open. However gmail has continued to work for me, only the chat has had some issues. Using dev build from canada.

#240Probably 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
The reason I host my own mail because I want to own and control my data.
