[Triana]

5. Oh nooooes! You broke teh google! :)

[havocmom]

7. trumad, you answered my prayer: Please Pasta Deity, let it be Google and not my 'puter

Muy strange

I even searched for FR to assure myself it wasn't some vast right wing conspiracy and only progressive stuff was being blocked

wanted to see if an article from print version of Mother Earth News was available online, cuz it is a great bit of sustainability on a small urban lot and people should check it out. Drifting through first cup of coffee and google does this weird crap... WTF? Figured it might be the corporate overlords thwarting our independent activities.

Nope, they are down major, no matter what I search for.

[havocmom]

9. Yep, above responders correct, it's better now

That was friggin weird though!

11. It was down for about 30 minutes.

[supernova]

14. No errors here anymore either

Odd.

Wonder what the press release will say? :think:

[havocmom]

15. I googled: google errors

and didn't get any new links just yet :evilgrin:

16. They were probably doing some minor update.

A programmer made a change that caused the bad site flag to be set on all results. Or, when a bad site was correctly flagged, the flag didn't get reset...sorta like not closing an html code causes a corruption in the appearance of text.

See, I meant to just italicize html, but forgot to close the setting.

Something like that...it happens, but it seems they've located and fixed the error.
