A bigger AdSense scandal

I'm surprised there hasn't been more outrage about something else.

According to this article, Google is now requiring its 10 million AdSense users to open a new "Google account" or change their email address if they're not using Gmail!

were adsense ads down or

were adsense ads down or was the adsense reporting/management site down?

The adsense site has been down multiple times over the last 6 months, but I usually still see ads on my sites

Site

Good point. As far as we know, it was just the site. I've changed the title to clarify.

Google Groups is in brownout, too

I wonder if this outage is related to the system-wide meltdown at Google Groups. Many group owners have been unable to update their html group pages or upload files for over a month, while Google issues occassional remain-calm-all-is-well announcements or premature announcements that the bug is fixed ("Mission Accomplished" banners, anyone?). I've seen several posts on the user group site to the effect that they are defecting back to Yahoo! Groups.
