Much like the #gmailfail hashtag, every other office in New York, and possibly everyone in the world, we here at Mediaite, Inc. are disheartened and profoundly terrified by the sudden shutdown of Gmail. How will we get work done? More importantly, how will we make insidery status updates and send funny links to each other now?

1) It’s 4chan’s fault, somehow

2) damn al Qaeda

3) Obama took it over in a mad grab for power

6) September Fools!

7) Sadly, the Internet is full
