I am experiencing the same. It literally went down RIGHT NOW.

http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/google.com

Edit: Vancouver, Canada.

Edit2: 4:01pm PST and it is back for me, though isup.me still shows it as down

Edit3: Now when visiting Google.com, it redirects to google.com and appends "gws_rd=cr" to the end of the url [1]. Didn't notice this before. Anyone else experience the same?

Same. Chrome url box search isn't working. I just used bing unsarcastically.

EDIT: canada as well.... Aaaaand it's back.

First GitHub, then Google.

Way to ruin my workflow, guys.

Search page and Apps accounts both seem to be offline.

It always amazes me when Google goes down. They must do everything they can to prevent it but yet, it's still possible.

Level 3 had service disruption yesterday too. So did AWS - what's going on this week - git hub too....

Maybe they had to take them down temporarily to install new PRISM boxes.

This is my favourite pet hate - colleague says they'll Google it <types Google into search bar. I mentally tear my hair out and dive out 5th story window screaming>

Same here in Chicago.

[edit] And it's back up. I guess WWIII has not just begun.

It's kinda cute how Google is down for twenty seconds and there's already a thread on the front page with 40+ points and 15+ comments

Edit: and it's up again already (at least for me). No more need to panic, people.

It was actually a few minutes for me. Although by the time I realised there were alternative search engines it was back.

I tried to search for "bing" in my chromebar....didn't go so well.

I bet Bing goes down all the time and nobody notices.

On the contrary, I bet if Bing goes down it would within minutes spawn hundreds upon thousands of posts along the tunes of "LOLz BING!"

Among the internet's many obsessions, watching MSFT fail must be near the top.

I prefer panic over calm rationality.

My website was down for 4 hours last week and no one noticed :(

Now waiting for a "Google is up" thread...

Even better, just reading this title induced a small amount of fearful discomfort. Not very different to 'electricity grid is down'.

/me needs to reflect on life

Can't seem to access any of their services. Went down at about 23:50 UK time for me.

Edit: Seems to be back online although a little slow.

Yep. Me too. How often does this happen in this age. I thought it was my internet connection. Funny how I use HN favorite to test my internet connection.
