More Gmail Issues, Contacts Refuse to Load

Sep 24 2009, 10:56am CDT | by Robert Evans

After a major hiccup three weeks ago, Gmail is on the fritz again. Earlier today I lost access for several minutes, and my contacts still refuse to load. Apparently I'm not alone; theNextWeb.com states that they've received messages and tweets from readers that Gmail is down or partially broken for them. Google's own service dashboard shows Google Mail suffering from a service disruption.

To their credit, Google has done a good job of keeping us updated. At 10:29 A.M they posted that they were aware of the issue, and informed users that they are working on a workaround. At 11:29 A.M., they updated and said that service was in the process of being restored for everyone. Google noted that some users might suffer from broken contact lists. If you (like me) are having that issue, go here to access your contacts.
