An explanation from a GURU from Mashable ...
Like most bloggers and news watchers, we like to keep our eyes on Google Trends to see what the world is currently searching for. As we all know by now, Gmail went down earlier today and inconvenienced a majority of Gmail users for an extended period time.
In a somewhat ironic twist of fate, the world was turning to Google for answers about the downtime — so much so that for a window of time, 18 of the top 20 US searches on Google were queries related to Gmail being down.
Rarely does any news, regardless of how monumental, become a Google Trend so many times over. It seems as if the world stopped to search about Gmail issues:
Of course, Gmail is up again, but the frenzy of Google searches on its status certainly proves how widespread the outage was, and how many millions of people were affected. We’ve never seen anything quite like it. At the very least, now we know that Gmail extends well beyond the social media realm in terms of users and influence.
