Google Is Down And, Man, I’m Out

Since late last night, I have not been able to access Google on any computer. I don’t know why. I have tried to find out if there were any news items explaining why Google might be down, but since I can’t access my Google Personalization page along with my favorite news feeds, I have been unsuccessful in that endeavor. WebProNews is too busy popping out stories about Microsoft and Yahoo (sorry, I had to get my dig in) to let us know what is going on with Google. Yahoo, too, is busy, but with elections. Sorry, no late breaking news on Google.

When I type www.google.com into my URL I get a timed out page. It’s been happening since last night. On other computers in the house I am redirected to a MyWebSearch search page. I’m not sure what is going on. I’ve never seen Google not be accessible. Either they are having major server issues or they’ve been hijacked. Google, hijacked? That would be a major, seriously major, news story, don’t you think?

I’d like to know what’s going on. If you are having trouble accessing Google this morning, let me know. If you have any idea why Google may be down, please let me know. This is really odd.
