Hiccup at Google?

[SenseiSteve]

Apparently Google had a hiccup this morning - down in different parts of the world. Has anyone heard anything about what happened?

Here is a good report on the event:

I haven't noticed a slowdown, but then it wasn't until 9.30 AM EST when I got online.

Have we become so dependent on Google?

I'm not following where you're going with this. When a major player like Google has network interruptions, it certainly creates a stir. A lot of people and businesses, globally, were affected.

Short answer - Yes.
Long answer - Yeeeeeeeeeeees.

First they got me with their search.
Second, they got me with their AdSense publisher program.
Then they got me with the email app.
Then they through chat messenger on me...
Now they try to get me with their apps... but I try to resist!

So yes, in some ways they totally hooked me up. BUT, that's only until someone else comes up with better search and better products and I will jump the boat just as easy.

Everything that artashes stated plus they got me with android operating system. Great OS!

There are some problems with google, like- One of my friends saw all his google analytics data disappear, last few days most of their services were slow. Might be a temporary thing.
