Has Google just gone down!?
May 1st, 2008 by Geoff
Is it me or has Google just gone down?
I was under the impression that Google's system of servers was fail safe and could possibly have failure in up time.
I am sat in the Premier Inn Putney, London on a WiFi connection and Yahoo works, MSN works but Google.co.uk and Google.com don't.
Not only this but none of Google's sub pages work, including Adwords, Help Centre, Maps and Analytics!!
It is strange because the none important pages like Google groups are still working….
How will this affect Google's revenues this evening through it's PPC platform?
Is it me or has anyone else noticed Google is down this evening?

Hi Geoff, I was indeed online around that time and had simular issues with google.co.uk, naturally i checked .com aswell and had no joy. My google toolbar for bookmarks worked ok, so not sure which parts were affected by the downage.
I’m finding the same things. It seems that way, but I didn’t think that could happen.
wtf?! if google goes i wont be happy one bit! i dont like to use bing, yahoo or ask jeeves! so PLEASE fix it i will be eternally greatful!
