Things people did when Gmail went down

We all know Gmail and Google+ services went down for about 50 minutes yesterday ~1900 GMT. Personally, it didn't affect me in anyway. Official news from NDTV India - http://www.ndtv.com/article/world/google-fixes-gmail-after-brief-outage-around-the-world-475218



This morning, I looked up the #Gmail hashtag on Facebook and found hilarious, witty and desperate-to-get-back-gmail statuses. Here are some that I wanted to share here; Enjoy!

Social Media - A presentation

Today, I was looking at the files in my computer that can be removed to get some space on hard drive and I chanced upon this presentation from 2010 that I made on the topic Social Media - the history and how it is currently and how corporates can define and implement a social media strategy thereby leveraging it to their business - simple by reaching out to customers/future customers directly!
