Google Down

[DallasDad]

Normally, I'd google to find information about a site that's down, but in this case....

And now it's back up. Mods, feel free to delete the OP.

Solution: use Dogpile instead.

When Google goes down, it's like the Internet doesn't exist, anymore!

...except for Facebook.

You need to have a list somewhere of all the sites you visit. Something like favorites.

facebook and google is down momentarily. Then there's no internet...hehehe

Oh, favorites are no problem. I use Google mostly for research, following the news, and such. Despite advances on other search engines, I find Google is still usually the fastest with the most relevant hits. Having it disappear with a 502 server error for ten minutes right when I was in the middle of looking stuff up was disconcerting.

No Jref, might as well fire up Aion...

Google News site goes down briefly
Users vent on Twitter after news aggregator service shows 'server error'
January 10, 2011 05:09 PM ET


Google News, the company's automated news aggregator, went down around 4:20 p.m. Monday. Users from the East Coast to the West Coast and Canada reported that the site was unavailable for at least half an hour.

When users try to access the Google News service, they got a "server error" message.
