Tech News Beats

Around 1.38 am IST, I was trying to open www.google.com for some search purpose and it was not opening for long time. In the beginning I thought it is common as I experience outages almost everyday with my BSNL service. However, in order to check I went to command prompt and tried to ping my service provider and no packets are lost. Then I pinged www.yahoo.com, again no packets are lost. Lastly, pinged Google and I was getting timed out. I was little shocked to think if the king of web is down!

I have never experienced this before. whenever other websites do not used to work, I used to try check with Google.com to see if my connection is up or down. Probably, I had an assumption that Google can never be down. Not sure what exactly happened when all other websites are working. This way I can be sure that my connections is working fine. Also, I have not put any blockage for Google. I have seen the Adsense website to be down on many occasions for maintenance or other reasons. However, in such cases they display messages in various languages. In this case the google.com website is just not opening. Are there others also experiencing this issue? If yes, please share your comment. Hope it is back soon. Net without Google is almost unthinkable these days. There are many sites which just live on the organic traffic provided by Google.
