Google Down But Not Out

Posted on May 15th, 2009 in General Internet by admin

Google suffered another embarrassment when a technical glitch rendered the Internet search company’s main page, mail service and news site sluggish or unavailable to millions of people worldwide for about an hour Thursday morning.

Google services were back online by about 9 a.m., PST, Thursday and appeared to be running smoothly throughout the day.

Google confirmed an “issue affecting some Google services,” saying it had “been resolved” and that the company would “share more details soon.” A spokesperson gave more specific details about the disruption to its Google News aggregator.

Twitter was going crazy all morning with reports and ‘angered’ users twittering about the issue.

The list of Google services that were reportedly down for various periods of time Thursday includes YouTube, Gmail, Google Analytics, Google Maps, Google Docs, AdSense and Blogger.
