Remember who YouTube was down last month? Well it happened again. That annoying purple monkey with a red hat and hammer in its hand would come up instead of the YouTube home page each time one tried to reload. This would be accompanied by the words Something went wrong… well duh! Turns out Google other services of Google were also temporarily down.
Many of Google’s services were impacted by the outage experienced all over.
Much to the annoyance of the netizens, everything seemed to be down simultaneously.
The 45 minute long system outage was due to an ‘internal storage quota issue’ according to reports. Services were restored thereafter.
Some of the tweeple were sharing some rather clever digital art: the pun on the word ‘down’, highlighting ‘out’ in YouTube etc.
Clever digital art following Google and YouTube outages.
Outages such as these can interrupt work.
Wi-Fi connection, broadband issue or problem with the device?
Refreshing the page didn’t help, disconnecting and reconnecting Wi-Fi didn’t help and restarting the device made no difference.
Soon the outraged tweeple were trending #GoogleDown, #YouTubeDOWN all over.
Google was down --- so they couldn't Google how to complain
Clearly some were craving down time… from work.
What else should we expect from a year that has been so dreadful?
…for everything said some of the tweeple.
…Like Yahoo perhaps. I mean, who ever uses Yahoo unless they have to?
I get really annoyed if some plugin /update changes my default search engine to Bing – don’t you?
Duck duck who, I hear you say?
I was not so desperate. Gmail is so far superior that nothing would convince me to migrate to another email service.
Doubtless the people at Google were trying their best to fix the outages.
#GoogleDown, #YouTubeDOWN – can it get any worse said those who are rather prone to overreaction.
