Google Service Outages, Friday, January 24, 2014.

Earlier today I was having trouble making calls using Google Voice via Hangouts. Once I arrived at the office, some colleagues complaint that Gmail was down. It turns out Google did have service outages.

I (proudly and foolishly) rely on Google Voice to do my job. Days like these would certainly grant me extra hours of slacking.

Coincidentally (and ironically), Google’s Reliability Team was doing Reddit AMA right before the outages happened.
