Is this a sign of an exceptional service that a minor outage ( I haven't seen it in my personal account or two apps accounts ) causes so much talk about it?

- ajross 15y agoIt's a sign that despite all the focus on new gadgets and forms of interaction, the really important stuff are the service that were figured out decades ago. People aren't talking about it because of what a great service gmail is, people are talking about it because ZOMG EMAIL IS DOWN!!! You can go days without tweets. You can turn off your IRC window or Google+ hangout. You can lose your phone and recover, most of us have. But for a tech person losing email is being cut off from the world.
