Google’s Gmail is Down Again

Is this affecting anyone else? Google’s (GOOG) Gmail is not letting me in right now, displaying this message every time I try to do something:

Gmail Broken

This comes on the heels of Gmail’s recent server overload, which left millions without access to their email. I can live with the occasional service disruption, but twice in one week?

That said, Gmail is still light years ahead of Yahoo! Mail, which brings my computer to a grinding halt every time I use it. Firefox just seizes up when I log in. Yahoo’s email search function is also a complete failure. I can search for my girlfriend’s name and nothing comes up even though we’ve exchanged emails just about every day for the past two years. And according to what I’ve read online, I’m not the only person with that problem.

Update – I’m also having some trouble with Bit.ly!
