Is Google down today for anyone else?

I was able to access it (Gmail & Google) about 2 and a half hours ago, but now I can't get into any part of Google. Not the main page, not Picasa Web, Gmail, etc. I tried on my computers and on my DS Browser and they don't load any part of Google at all.

I just tried mobile Gmail on my phone and that works. Hmm.

Works for me. I've been using it a fair bit all day too.
Miranda
I guess I'll just have to use a proxy to use Google for now until it's back up for me.

Then the problem appears to be your DNS server. That's the machine that your computer uses to translate a web server name (ex - www.google.com) into an IP address (ex - 64.233.161.99). The example links I gave above use IP addresses directly.

Yeah, it's a problem on my ISP's end.
