Google Talk / Gtalk faces severe outage

September 24, 2009

Widespread reports that Google talk / Gtalk is facing severe outages. Most people are seeing zero people listed online, causing widespread disruption in the workplace for firms that use Google Talk as their instant message program of choice.

People are reporting that this is what they are greeted with when they login:

googletalk

Notice that no one is online? Even if 100 of your friend are, zero people are showing up. Reporting are coming in world wide (blog posts from Saudi Arabia to China are showing the same problem as us in the United States).

People don’t tend to realize how much they depend on Google until problems like this show up. A contact to Google has not been returned at the time of the publishing.

    I think that everyone is having this problem… I don’t think it would be regionally specific anyway… I don’t believe they run there servers like that…
