Google Is Life

The dependence on Google came to light on 16th August. The service from Google was disrupted for 5 min from 4:22 AM to 4:27 AM. Many couldn't believe it, and first tried to check their internet connection, rather than thinking that, Google may be down. Twitter reported a flurry of activity in just those 5 mins, concerning the disruption of service. The report from GoSquared's real-time tracking recorded a huge dip of 40% in global page views. The estimated time for continuation of service was 10:37. However Google with its awesome engineers came back in just 5 mins. Now that's what's called fast-service.

Some of the outrageous tweets can be seen on: http://www.zdnet.com/google-services-go-down-internet-panics-7000019516/
