Its not a big issue, really. Its just a single hour, besides there are other search engines that we can use like bing or yahoo.
Google will lose many millions... and many people around the world will aggregately lose more than that....
There are always other search engine like bing, yahoo, and many more, don't make any worries like that, just because google is number one in the world.
thats not a big deal for me. just take another search engine like yahoo. for adsense publisher or for adwords user 1 hour offline will not make any big impact. who make a lot of looses is google itself..
i think 1 hour is too long for that, google goes around the world so i can affect a lot of business and people.
their is always a options for every one but after all Google is the best and i don't thinks that it's could be offline.
Google has its own Datacenters (not just Datacenter they have DataCenter Farms) not only at one place but throughout the world. So One who know technology and its architect on which it based upon can say, Its not possible.. only possible if some thing happens as it is shown in Movie 2012 or some asteroid strikes earth and mass majority is destroyed.. I dont think then we will really need Google!
