| nostradamus sez.... Google was down totally for fios here in socal from 730 am to about 10am
look everyone claims 99.99% uptime. they dont like to say .o1% downtime. But you gotta squeeze that in somewhere. If humans touch it there is no such thing as 100% perfect.
Google is free and makes Yahoo and MS look like 1997 internet. (the pre-cambrian period)
We just need to have redundancy and backups built in. That is why I have two other email providers other than google. Just like verizon or earthlink or anyone else, they do tend to go down.
What is funny is when these "hiccups" (f-ups) come along now in any system (like oh say the financial system) we are all on their ass in 30 seconds with email, bloggs and now tweets. As soon as I saw google was down I said oh man will they have hell to pay today. Someone will face a firing squad. |
