Google Apps ErrorSince about 8am EDT, Wednesday, April 17th, Google Apps and many of the products within it, including Gmail, Google Docs, Google Chat and so forth are down for many - including me.

There are tons of complaints on Twitter, Google+ and Facebook.

I posted a message on Google+ asking if Google Apps is down for others and everyone said yes.

It seems to be coming up for some now but for the past 45 minutes, it was completely down for most Google Apps users.

It also seems to be up and down for most right now.

The Google Apps Status Dashboard says everything is fine - but you and I know it is not.

Forum discussion at Google+.

Update 9am EDT: Based on the number of visits this post is getting right now, hundreds of thousands of users are still affected.

For more updates on this outage, feel free to follow me on Twitter or on Google+.
