MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP) - Technical problems at Google are  
preventing an unknown number of people from using its Internet search  
engine, e-mail and other services.

In a Thursday post on its Web site, the Mountain View-based company  
reports that a "small subset of users" hasn't been able to get into  
their e-mail accounts. Without elaborating, Google says the e-mail  
trouble might be affecting other services as well.

Multiple messages posted on Twitter, a popular information-sharing  
forum, indicate that people all over the world are having trouble with  
the Google search engine and e-mail. But other Twitter users say their  
Google services have been running smoothly.

Google says the company is working to fix the problems.
