I hate it, Gmail seems to be going down ever so often nowadays. Almost every few days in fact. This is definitely unacceptable for such a large organization as Google, especially so when email has become such a critical part of everyone’s life now. Yes, in fact, too much into everyone’s life.

I know of someone who email to another colleague to ask simple questions where all he could have done is turn his head back and talk face to face. Yes, it is sad sometimes. Everyone prefers email than to talk face to face, or even to calling, as it is always easier to write than to talk. The same reason why SMS has become so much part of almost everyone’s life too.

Wait, some of you might be wondering why am I so upset about gmail going down, as most who know me knows that I use my own domain name for my email address. Reason is I have migrated my mail services to gmail and still using my own domain name. So the email interface I use is exactly the same as gmail except that I am riding on my own domain. Confused? Find out more at Google Apps.

When I finish writing this, gmail is still down, and I am still upset. I think they need some serious investment to ensure their mail services do not go down again.
