Google apologizes
after online service stumble
Google apologized
after the internet giant’s widely used free email and an array of other
services were disrupted by apparent software woes.
Earlier today
most Google uses who used logged I n services like Gmail, Google+, Calendar and
Documents found they were unable to access those services for approximately 25
minutes, Google engineering vice president Ben Treynor said in a blog post. For
about 10% of users the problem persisted for as much as 30 minutes longer. Google
did not disclose the full extent of the Gmail glitch but the brief outage was
believed to have affected million of people, including those using the service
at work. Complaints were posted online from Europe, Canada, the United States
and elsewhere. An online Google Apps tracking dashboard, which indicated that a
dozen services – including Gmail and its social network Google+-- had affected
was brief or lasted the better part of an hour, please accept our apologies—we strive
to make all of Google’s services available and fast for your, all the time, and
we missed the mark today. The issue has been resolved, and were are now focused
on correcting the bug putting more checks and monitors in place to ensure that
this kind of problem does not happen again. Yahoo even tweeted a screen captured
of a Google message apologizing for the problem.
