PC World-
Google's Gmail service went down Friday, taking some Google+ services along with it and forcing the world onto services like Twitter to complain.
Users who tried to access Gmail about 11:15 AM PT on Friday received the message at the top of the page: "We’re sorry, but your Gmail account is temporarily unavailable," it read. "We apologize for the inconvenience and suggest trying again in a few minutes."
But you can still go back to the old layout if you prefer.
Overall, this looks like a decent UI update for people that use multiple Google services.
Spam runs rampant on Gmail, but you have options.
