Gmail service crashed today, causing outages across the globe, including users in the United Kingdom, Australia, India and other parts of Europe. Web based Gmail was affected and users still had access to their email server through mobile applications. Gmail went offline at approximately 10:30 GMT this morning. Gmail is usually problem free, so bloggers were quick to note that the service was unavailable. Also, most users in the United States did not suffer the same outages as those experienced in other parts of the world.

Google posted on their Gmail blog that they have resolved the problem but did not mention what exactly happened. They also said if you were affected you may have to fill out a CAPTCHA form to access your Gmail since you probably repeatedly tried to access your account.
