Looks like Google is having a partial outage. Gmail users report getting the error that “Gmail is temporarily unable to access your Contacts. You may experience issues while this persists”.

Google talk is totally unusable, the contact list is empty.

Many organizations use Google Apps services for their corporate web, email and messaging online services - I wonder if they are affected.

Yes, google apps for my domain are affected as well. I'm sure many businesses are feeling the pain. Unfortunately, we're feeling it at the community center where I volunteer. I guess it was a mistake to put my confidence in google. If this were the only time this had happened, maybe I could forgive it, however it seems that there have been lots of problems lately.

Hi bbusenius,

I know this sounds like a shameless product plug :) but why don't you give Microsoft Online Services a try. I know that they care much better for their customers :)
