Tech Outages: Facebook Offline, Gmail and Google Services Down
Gmail, which has gone down multiple times in the past several years, was down earlier today. The outage included other Google services such as Google Play, Google Drive, Google Calendar, and Chrome Sync. Some Chrome browser users reported on Twitter that loading Gmail would crash their browsers during the outage.
