Thanks for the post...

Somebody had to do it! ;)

Seems to be back up again... at ease everyone (and enjoy your weekends).

Is this the beginning of the end for Google?

-Revenues are WAY down based on numerous posts
-Several recent stories in the mainstream news about how Gmail keeps crashing and is slower than ever
-A huge flood of Google users are embracing Bing
-More frequent outages of the Adsense Website

This sort of stuff was unheard of a few years ago. Google was bulletproof.

Lately, it seems like the Mountainview, CA giant may be on its way down.

I REALLY hope that this is NOT the case!

-Revenues are WAY down based on numerous posts

Not mine. Best day all year yesterday.

-Several recent stories in the mainstream news about how Gmail keeps crashing and is slower than ever

Keeps crashing ? I can only think of two incidents this year that they went down. Hardly call that "keeps"

-A huge flood of Google users are embracing Bing

Where have you gotten this info ?
Of course people will try it out - it's new - and a proportion of those will be webmasters comparing results. Way too early to say that people are leaving Google for Bing. Give it 6 months to a year and then see how things are.

-More frequent outages of the Adsense Website

This is the first one I am aware of all year.

Got in right away in CA.

No problemo.

Haha.
