Gmail outage bigger than Obama on Twitter

Earlier this week Gmail crashed for half a day and caused quite an uproar as personal and business accounts couldn't be accessed. Now if we compare the Twitter Trends over the last couple of days against the same time as the inauguration of Obama happened. Interesting stuff:


Something else that is interesting is that their is now a Google account on Twitter, does this mean that Google does not intent to acquire Twitter or is merely testing it out. Either way it would have helped if Google had the account on Monday to let us know whats happening with Gmail as a blog post about it took quite a while to come up.

Facebook offered $500million for Twitter last year... wonder how much its valued at now especially after it received another round of funding at $35million. There is a lot of talk that this could be the next 'google'.
