Oh okay, according to Comscore, Gmail is about twice the size of Aol Mail (which is still nothing compared to Yahoo Mail at 94,603 unique visits a month) and the average age of an Aol mail user is 65 +, which might explain the lack of Twitter and Facebook buzz.
We’ve contacted our parent company for more info on the outage, and in the meantime you can follow @aolmail on Twitter for the latest updates on something that probably doesn’t pertain to you anyways.
Update: Just checked my (G)mail and found the following statement from Aol representative Kiersten Hollars, “It should be back up and we’re looking into the cause now.”
You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.
