Gmail is down, Twitter sizzling with the news

Google's e-mail service Gmail is offline for many users right now. Those wondering if they are alone in experiencing the outage can find comfort on Twitter, which is up and sizzling with Gmail down alerts. To track the spread of the outage (and to find out when it is corrected), take a look Twitter Search, which is posting dozens of items a second about the outage.

I have been logged in all night. I just got an e-mail from my wife at 7:19PM EST so MAYBE Google had server reboots for maintenance.... That could possibly account for the momentary downtime.
