If you want to be able to ask Googlers directly on issues like this, you might try Google+. I am trying to spam, it is just that they are all available on there. Here is something Scoble posted the other day: I just spent an hour talking with a Google exec about + and I came away
with a few things:
1. Google employees used to not be able to tell you what they are working on. Those days are gone.
2. There is more intellectual curiosity inside Google than I have seen in quite some time.
3. The + team is driven by our excitement and that has caused sizable shifts in employee attention. Translation: new features are coming. Everyone wants to work for a winner.
This new Google attitude is something that feeds on itself. Translation: I am excited about the future here in a way that I was never excited about Buzz.
It has been a while since I posted, but if anyone wants an invite, ping this account or pirkster at gmail. --steve On Thu, Jul 14, 2011 at 23:00, Cody Rose <cody@killsudo.info> wrote:
It appeared to be very brief, I just happened to be in a Google Plus Hangout when the chat died then my Gtalk died followed by my Google homepage.
By the time I got done checking DNS and was getting on a trace-route server my chat reconnected and service was back to normal.
Just thought it was unusual to see all my Google services go offline at the same time.
