@RJO: OMG GMAIL IS DOWN MY LIFE … ITS DESTROYED!!!

Here’s yet another example of why so many people are so tuned in to Twitter. Gmail has been down, worldwide in my experience, for over 1/2 an hour, impacting a lot of people.

During the worldwide outage, as Techcrunch reports, “the productivity of 20 million people worldwide just spiked upward.”
