Google Glitch

31 January 2009 8 views 4 Comments

This morning I woke early without an alarm and set out to clean my coffee-maker. I “googled” up the instructions, got my white vinegar and water mix going through the machine, and set out to search for information on how to clean my French Press. Suddenly Google stopped working. At first I thought it was me, but later discovered that it was Google’s glitch. The site was down for about an hour costing Google an estimated 2-3 million dollars in lost advertising revenue. My coffee appliances are all clean and Google’s back raking in the big bucks again.

    I thought something was wrong with my computer because it kept saying every site was a bad site. I ended up finding it out later on and got a good chuckle. ;)

    Just think now you can drink CLEAN coffee. I guess it doesn’t matter as long as our heart is clean and our google search is working. I make tea in my French press. I don’t like coffee.

    Seems like there’s an illustration there with Google’s trouble yesterday — the cause was a stray back slash.
