Google Glitch
I claim victimhood! It only lasted 30 minutes but I was traumatized when I couldn’t open up any online dictionaries.
Users of the social network tool Twitter who discussed the error reported their internet searches had returned to normal but that problems with Gmail remain. One Twitterer, BradBrownDotCom, joked: “The Google outage frightened me like a schoolgirl, until I remembered an old technology called ‘Yahoo’.”
Google is so popular worldwide, earning £3bn in income during 2008, that it has been claimed 750 megawatt-hours of electricity could be saved every year if the home page was changed from white to black.
Waiting on someone to calculate the global economic impact of some Googlodyte’s goof.
