For 40,000 Gmail Users, Google Has To Leave The Cloud To Review The Tapes

Yesterday, the tips started flowing in. "Google has deleted all my email." "Check Twitter, massive Gmail failure." "Gmail just melted down." Users were freaking out. And that's understandable. Many were apparently opening up Gmail to find that all of their emails had vanished. Had it happened to me, I would have been on Twitter swearing at the top of my digital lungs and promising to do something crazy ? like switch to Hotmail. Of course, the reality of the situation wasn't quite so dramatic. While the initial reports had around .29 percent of Gmail users affected by the bug (about 600,000 users), those estimates were quickly revised to .08 percent (about 150,000 users). And today, those numbers were further revised to .02 percent. This means that only around 40,000 of Gmail's 200 million (or so) users were affected.
