Apparently google experienced some downtime today in North America, from which they're just starting to recover from. This is after a massive outtage yesterday affecting gmail and youtube and other google services. As a reminder, if you have any systems integrated with google products, you may want to check and see if anything is missing or misplaced. If you use google for DNS, you may want to think carefully.
I first noticed the outtage when testing my vps for transactional emails. I thought the problem was on my end, but checking the logs revealed otherwise.
Some people (myself included) have been unable to send/receive emails. If you rely on gmail for communication, you may want to seek out an alternative; likewise if you are expecting communication and have not received it, this may be an explanation. If you use google smtp for relaying emails, you may have some that never sent.
