Google goes down for 5 minutes, Bing is no alternative


It created a sort of crisis across the world as Google went down for 5 minutes. definitely Bing is no alternative even years after its launch
In an event that lasted for mere five minutes and meant almost end of world for the internet junkies around the world, the Google’s services, including Google search and Gmail the suffered a snag at 4.20 am IST. During that time the Gmail and Search Engine displayed 502 error.
In wake of the world of twitter was bombarded with tweets such: “I wonder how many people checked their wifi connection first before realizing it was Google that was down.”
During the snag period the Google’s services dashboard that keeps a check and shows the status of Google services carried a pink dot in front of each one which meant that they were in offline mode for mentioned duration. The user by clicking on these dots could read the generic message.
The tab meant for Gmail read: “We’re aware of a problem with Gmail affecting a significant subset of users. The affected users are able to access Gmail, but are seeing error messages and/or other unexpected behavior. We will provide an update by 8/17/13 6:07 AM detailing when we expect to resolve the problem. Please note that this resolution time is an estimate and may change.”
Ten minutes later the dashboards ere updated with the message that the problems had been resolved and the services have been restored.
Later a website, closely monitoring the snag mentioned: “Google.com was down for a few minutes between 23:52 and 23:57 BST on 16th August 2013. This had a huge effect in the number of pageviews coming into GoSquared’s real-time tracking — around a 40% drop, as this graph of our global pageviews per minute shows. That’s huge. As internet users, our reliance on google.com being up is huge.”
