At the risk of being mocked and ridiculed..can I ask if google is down for anyone else? :)

You aussie sure are crazy :D

Up for me

Fine by me. NY NY.

Up here too...L.I., NY

:) Grrr, it's back now. Couldn't reach it for about 10 minutes. I ran three traces (from here and in the US) and all went belly up.

I'll get back in my box now. :)

Gary

your right, it was down for about 5 mins or so. I was shocked that once in my life I saw google go down:rolleyes:

Oh please...you're just trying to make me feel better! ;)

Gary

Someone must have tripped over the "big plugin" ;). Considering Google has it's own datacenter(s) I'm actually a little surprised it even went down for a short time. Nothings perfect :).

up for me now

*mocks and ridicules Gary* ;)

Small children are pointing and laughing....:D

actually I've had Google being 'unreachable' a few times in the past couple of months. Probably not down, but something in their local area seems to go on the fritz occasionally.

Doesn't google have 3 datacenters? Or atleast 3 big rooms in some datacenters?

UP here(Perth, WA)
However! sometimes the page just does not open when i open IE and it has to be refreshed for Google to display has only happened passed 2 days!@

They have thousands of servers in multiple locations. There were some threads about this a while ago.

Those servers, also, are of three types: webservers, index servers, and document servers. When you do a search at Google, you're served that "google" page by a webserver at one of seven datacenters worldwide (at least; again, they're growing continually). The query is answered on an index server, which draws the actual cached pages from the document servers. Anyway, as far as how many datacenters, it's likely that at least some of those index and doc servers are at still different locations from the seven sets of webservers.

google is taking over the internet :D
