New Delhi: Many Google users have reported receiving a 502 error while trying to access any Google service. Google products which seem to have been affected include Google.com, YouTube, Gmail, Google Talk and Blogger.
Tweets from users reporting the error seem to indicate that it is users from India who are facing a problem. There is still no word from Google on its official communication channels regarding the glitch.
"502. That's an error. The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request. Please try again in 30 seconds. That's all we know," reads the message on the error page.
502 errors usually happen due to poor IP communication between servers. There have been a number of previous occasions when Google users have encountered a similar error, but this seems to be the first time when its has affected a multitude of Google services. Recently, on September 11 this year Gmail was down for sometime and a few days later, on September 29, YouTube users encountered a similar 502 error.
For many users, Google is the gateway to the Internet and therefore inability to access Google can impede the Internet experience of millions of users across the world.
While users have not been completely cut-off from Google services, but access is intermittent.
The Google outage come close on the heels of the four-day long incident when BlackBerry services were down across the world.####Twitter buzz on Google 502 error
