| Titre | NBlog July 9 - the day the Earth stopped spinning |
| Texte | Here's something we don't see very often, well for no more than a fraction of a second, normally, discreetly tucked away at the bottom left corner of the browser window. Today was different. Today the message was there long enough for me to grab that little screen shot.Meanwhile, I had to waits e v e r a ll o n gm i n u t e sfor the Google search results to appear. Minutes I tell you, minutes! Several of them! Shock! Horror! My little world stood still for a moment, my online life on hold.In an instant, I realised that not only have we grown accustomed to near instantaneous access to Google's gigantic Web catalogue, but that I am actually quite dependent on it. I do sometimes use other search engines but I always scurry back to Google because it works well, almost always. The only reason I am bloggering on about it here is that a Google service failing is so unusual, exceptional in fact. Almost unheard of. The technology to achieve that outstanding level of service in terms of capacity, performance and reliability is awesome in both scale and cost, and yet most Google services appear free to use (well OK, they're not really free: we provide our search terms and a fair amount of personal information in return, plus Google's commercial services are charged at commercial rates. But at least we can opt out if we choose). |
