Yes, but certainly NOT the end of the world. Look what Google offers it's consumers. They are "da bomb". Give them a break, Hon!
I believe it was down for a little over an hour. A lot of my visitors are from overseas, the good hour has gone where I get a lot of traffic. And I based the 80% drop on the stats I saw at that time.
If you make 80% of your income in one program in one hour a day...It is definately time to diversify...You are opening yourself up to all kinds of possible problems
Same thing happened the other day, too: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=35665 but I thought it was just me having a glitch somewhere. Interestingly, about the same time I was having problems then, the Tiscali network was having issues.
I slept through the whole thing.. Except my googletalk gaim setup has been still freaking out this morning spamming by screen with unable to connect messages.
And for those that thought it would negatively affect their stock today... Google shares are up another $5.31 today so far, so they are worth ~$1.5B more than they were last night.
Well I've noticed some of my adsense adds not loading. Particularly the "horizontal one liners". Happening since yesterday. Anyone else notice this..? This has been a rough 3-weeks with Google. First the update whack and now some ads not loading so CTR decrease but I hear the stock price is up so everythings cool...
Is Google Maps not working? I am trying to load Shawns DP User Maps (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/usermap.php) and it just comes up empty. I'm using Firefox Caryl
I have a client who uses google news feeds. He can pick them up one by one but his cron job is struggling!
500 page loads yesterday. 110 today, with 14 of the 24 hours gone. I haven't changed a thing on the website. So something is going on.
