Gmail outage underscores Google's trust problem

Back in August, when Google's Gmail experienced three big outages in a row, administrators that depend on the service were quickly rethinking their strategy. Since the service was hosted, they had no recourse but to sit and wait for Google to fix it, leaving them wide open to huge criticisms from not only front-line employees, but CEOs as well. Google had a big PR problem on its hands at the time, but its response seemed on target. The company vowed to address outages better in the future, improving its problem notification methods as well as reimbursing affected paying customers (those who use Apps Premier).
