Everyone has technical difficulties every once in a while. It goes with the territory.
But then, not everyone is Google. According to web analytics firm GoSquared, worldwide internet traffic dipped by a stunning 40 per cent during the brief minutes that the Chocolate Factory's services were offline. Here's the graph of what that looked like:
Very strange indeed. How can such a large distributed server environment ALL go down at the same time.. Can't wait for updates from google. Anyone else a server admin with some insight as to how this could happen? Im stumped.
So at least 40% of people in the world do not know how to type www.bing.com in to there browser search bar. Though it was only 2 mins a lot of people probably didn't even get started thinking about alternatives and just opting to "try again later".

so glad I saw this article! I was trying to google something RIGHT at this moment, was getting nothing. I kicked my son off his PC and tried, still nothing. Went to the back bedroom and told my wife to google something and sure enough it worked I was like, hmm and just dismissed it. I also thought my internet or ISP was acting up so I went to OCN and yahoo and they worked. Weird, be interesting to see what happened.

Not really. Google already published info about Spanner. This basically means all the Google's runs one system... it just happens to be across every data center they own. Note, absolutely no other company has achieved this.
6 years ago I had a friend of a friend of someone I know on the internet whose friend claimed they brought Google down for 10 secs once. Just saying because it makes me feel important!

Google also does DNS. If their DNS goes down your browser/computer doesnt know overclock.net is actually 174.36.23.242 and doesn't know where to find it. I use googledns personally... so it sucked for me because I was testing some stuff out on my local network and I was FLIPPING out because it wasn't working.

And the exact first thing I do when I get a call from someone saying they can't get to the internet is "ping 8.8.8.8", because, hey, Google can't go down.
