Google Blackout: Clearing Up, But Some Still Experiencing Problems With Search, Gmail, YouTube

This morning’s slowdown with Google (NSDQ: GOOG) services such as search, YouTube, Gmail and mobile apps is largely cleared up, but some users are still experiencing problems, according to growing Twitter posts tagged with #googlefail. ZDNet’s Larry Dignan (whose post also sports a Google Fail Whale, picture, right), has been told its something to do with an AT&T (NYSE: T) routing issue. “Anything that touches Google via AT&T is down,” Dignan reports.

A Google rep told paidContent: “We’re aware some users had trouble accessing some Google services. The issue affecting some Google services has been resolved. We’re sorry for the inconvenience, and we’ll share more details soon.”

So that what happens last night when I was accessing Google search and other Google services. I thought there was something wrong with my browser or IP address that cannot access Google. I tried to ping it using the DOS console and found out that it has 3 request timeout and 1 can get through. Until now when I tried to ping it there were 2 request timeout.
