Google issues?

[MarkBarbieri]

It appears to be OK now. I can't make it happen anymore.

Yup, it's working fine now. I wonder if maybe they were doing some kind of upgrade or maintance that affected their linking process.

mine is fixed too

It's fixed now. The story didn't make it to the U.S. news yet, but the BBC and ZDNet were reporting on it. Google said they'll issue a statement later today about what happened.

In this job climate, I wonder if it was a disgruntled, ex-employee...?

It will be interesting to see the statement. I'm guessing it's an update that went awry.

agnes!

I keep looking for the statement but haven't seen one yet. I wonder what went wrong?

ok, nevermind, here is one explanation:

I use google all the time - although I haven't used it in the past 2 days..

Is this problem serious enough that I should avoid it?

It's fixed now-it was out for about 1/2 hour this morning.

Thanks! DGD just asked me to google something for her and I wouldn't because I didn't know what the situation was..
