Another YAGG Gags the Google

May 19, 2009

ComputerWorld here reported another service outage for Googzilla, the world’s most widely used search system. The subhead is quite pointed: “Déjà vu all over again: Four days after widespread outage, Google News hiccups.’”

The author, Sharon Gaudin, who wrote:

Google confirmed this morning that its Google News news aggregation site went down between 8:35 a.m. EDT and 10 a.m. EDT today. Some users trying to pull up the site received a 503 Server Error message. It’s not clear how many users were affected or how wide a geographical area was affected.

Not much for the addled goose to add. Outages speak for themselves.
