Wholeheartedly agree. Can't blame them that the system has issues every now and then. I'm sure it's a massively complex system, and other products have their issues too. But what's the point in showing a Google-branded generic error message to our clients. The nonchalant "Try again in 30 seconds. That's all we know" is adding insult to injury.
When the next outage strikes, I'd like to see something like "The application hosted in our data center can currently not be reached. We apologise. We're working on restoring our client's service. Please try again later. The team at Google."
