Google’s Gmail is down!

Gmail is suffering from a widespread outage this morning, with visitors to the webmail service being presented with blank screens.
In a statement – issued over the telephone – Google admits it’s got a problem.

“A number of users are having difficulty accessing Gmail,” the company notes. “We are working to resolve the problem.”

“We know how important Gmail is to our customers, so we take issues like this very seriously.”

Google wouldn’t comment on the scale or the nature of the problem.

Google is encouraging affected users to visit the Gmail Help Centre for status updates.
