Not much more to update yet but we're seeing and getting word from others that multiple Google services have gone down. Gmail, YouTube, Google Drive, Google Docs, Maps, Adwords and Adsense, and Google Pay are all experiencing outages, with dozens, even hundreds, of reports we've seen so far coming in from across Europe, the US, Canada, India, South Africa, countries in Central and South America, Australia and likely more.
Downtime site indicators are showing big spikes for services dropping starting from around 11.30AM UK time.
Google.com itself appears to still be working, albeit sluggishly. Ditto Chrome.
So far we aren't seeing any explanations for what is going on â€" please get in touch if you know something, I'm on Twitter here and do read direct messages and replies. No point in emailing me!
Mainly, though, it's an unprecedented failure for a system that has grown to be one of biggest traffic and activity drivers on the internet.
The time I realized how much I depend on Google.

We'll update as we learn more.
