Something Wrong With Gmail?

Lately I have been receiving a lot of Gmail 502 errors, not only that but I am also having trouble sending e-mails. Here is what the error looks like:
gmail 502 error

We all know the problems that twitter is having with staying online and after continued twitter error messages, well, I start to think that other popular internet services may be suffering from “technical” errors.  Now, of course Google is a much larger entity so hopefully they can get their act together.

I have found that the best solution is usually to just close the gmail application and then restart it, you may have to do this several times but eventually gmail gets back online.

Anyone else experiencing these errors?

Thanks for reading
