Google News Down
Google News appears to be down providing a 503 server error message. The outage started approximately 8:40AM Eastern and continues at the time of this posting 8:47AM Eastern.
Please report in if Google News is down where you are. We have received reports that the Russian Google News is functioning correctly.
Check Twitter search for additional commentary on the Google News outage.
Update: after some pinging and a whole lot of tracerouting, it appears some datacenters might be down but not the entire Google News service as some are getting in and I get in on some loads (about 3 out of 10)
Update 2: 9:30AM Eastern – Google News still appears to be inconsistently down – as CN commenters have noted it’s down more than it is up. I am still getting the 503 error.
