I can't access Google or Gmail and I really need my gmail account and the google maps. What should I do?

Curl up into a fetal position and babble?


Can you imagine if Google suddenly went offline?

You can only post every 30 seconds. Try again in 3 seconds. :p

Seriously? Empty your cache and try again. I can access the search page and my gmail.

I already tried emptying the Cache on all browsers.

Tried other google front pages instead of the .com one?

I went to visit my Aunt for three days last year, no internet. It was like missing half of my brain. No more instant background and historical data, no more maps and aerial photos. Drove me nuts. I think I'm addicted to information.

I'm dead if I can't access my gmail account and I also really need the google maps.

So, use the map in the other domains, like: http://maps.google.co.uk/ Or, use other map services.

Gmail... well, you're fucked there.

Well then, I'm Sorry [NS]TheHitman. But if it's any consolation, I can volunteer to play the pipes at your funeral.:)

Oopsy. Guess I spoke too soon. Never noticed that gmail always goes through https://mail.google.com/. Works fine for me, though.

google watches you, and if the don't like you, they'll *exclude* you :)

Is it really that bad to use Yahoo, clusty.com or ask.com in lieu of google?
