I work for a large ISP as a tech support agent and we got absolutely hammered with calls from customers saying it was our fault that google wasn't working correctly. I ended up arguing for half of the day that we have no control over google and the best comment I heard was 'Google is the Internet and you supply the internet so it is your fault'. Damn Customers

Thats crazy, it was like that for like 45 minutes. This just shows that Google still make mistakes and they are human too

I know a few tech support people that were getting calls about this, One was chewed out by a Client for 20 minutes then called back to apologize once the problem was fixed. Tech support is not fun.

I remember when this happened. People on twitter were going crazy over this how it was warning that twitter would harm your computer. People can really get worked over stuff.

I got a bit worried about it.How is it possible that Google can screw up something like this? It´s probably a good idea to have other traffic streams as well.

That's ridiculous, how can they blame you? Can't believe someone said Google is the internet.
It's not like there aren't any other Search Engines.

I am trying to catch up with some of your back posts and stay abreast with your thought process. I have come to the same conclusion that quality is better than quantity. If you are among the former, readership follows.

We can learn from our mistakes rather it makes us more perfect, Steps can be taken so that such things never appear in the future.

I think its did not fault of Google because some point we can think, we are too lazy for secure our data. So its not fault only one of Google its our fault too.

I saw that when it happened and straight away I was like "many people won't know what to do… I won't get any traffic
"
Neil, that's kind of a funny story, the fact that people don't know the difference between Google and the Internet

It's amazing… Really amazing!

Google is made of humans … and humans can do mistakes. No surprise on this ^^

Why did you take down my Internets? j/k

Google plays a very Important role in todays life.

It's a very good evidence of how mighty the Google is nowadays and how ignorant are the people who use the Internet and do not know (and, I'm sure, do not want to know) the difference between Google and the Internet.

This is funny. But its so not the first time Google has showed screwy SERPS. That index isn't always spot on as we'd wish it to be. Let us also not forget that people Google Bomb it all day long. These are factors that one must weigh.

Where is the screen shot? I can’t see it
March 6th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
Lol, I'm not sure how I missed this whole situation. It's so funny yet pathetic and ridiculous how much people lose their minds when something like this happens. It just goes to show that even companies Google can run into little roadblocks and issues.. no big deal, just another day on the internet.

it is very big thing. because it is a reliable search engine
March 20th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
This proves people working at Google are human too.
March 24th, 2009 at 8:03 pm
That is too funny. I bet whomever pulled that off got a big laugh at it. I bet Google will catch who did this though.

As big as Google is I find that their results always seem to be changing. I can do a search for my website right now, then go back and do it again in 20 minutes and I swear that I either move up or down since the last time I checked. It's no wonder why that many of us didn't see or hear of the hack. Now I bet you if it happened on let's say MSN alot of us would have probably noticed or heard about the hack because for the most part their search results stay constant and any drastic changes are readily apparent.

this is the first i have ever heard of this considering that google is a powerhouse but im extremely happy that it eventually resolved
April 7th, 2009 at 5:05 pm
I don't believe that Google has been hacked.
June 5th, 2009 at 8:05 pm
Well, that's up to Google it came
….. This once again shows that there is nothing perfect in this world!

I am unable to find any picture here, Where is the picture??? I think Google has removed that???
October 29th, 2009 at 6:55 pm
Why can't I see the screenshots?
