In any case I kind of question how moving servers could cause a major outage... </p>Michael SurteesFri, 04 Sep 2009 08:32:20 -0000http://designnotes.info/?p=1877#comment-15896557<p>I think the "Google engineers faced extra difficulties in fixing the problem because the company uses Gmail internally" claim is a bit of sensationalism: while the Gmail website was down, IMAP was still up, as was Google Talk. I _highly_ doubt that the Google engineers were _that_ crippled because of the lack of a web interface. The media just likes the hyperbole. </p>Sameer VastaThu, 03 Sep 2009 15:33:22 -0000
