Google Outage : Lessons Learned
By Sumaira Bajwa • May 17th, 2009 • Category: Technology • One ResponseWell, the world panicked as the single point of failure in the Internet failed. Google failed for a while and people were unable to access the Gmail, Analytics, Docs and many other of the services. The source of the disruption? A system error that sent a bunch of Google (GOOG) Web traffic to Asia and waylaid about 14 percent of it, apparently.
As Google rectified the matters, world once again started working normally but has left a trail of gaping observations:
- World should have more search engines.
- Browsers should have more Default Home Pages.
- There should be more analytical services looking at everything in my website.
- My Documents are perhaps better on my own machine than online.
- Chrome might be faster, but not that much robust.
- Gmail is not end of the world
But I still love Google.

Well, I don’t think that any other search engine can compete Google..Not only this, google is offering so many services to its users that no one else is able to reach even 25% of these services. Reason is only and only “google believes in competition” and dont restrict any body to not work on its codes.
I am damn google freak and I can’t think to live without google services, either on laptop or on mobile.
Good luck to google and its future services.
