Network monitoring company ThousandEyes Inc reported, according to the British “Guardian”, that Google’s problems had affected at least 1,338 servers worldwide in more than 40 countries, including the US, Australia, South Africa, Kenya, Israel, Europe, China, Japan etc.
Users trying to use the search engine were getting a 502 or 500 error message and were told to try again later. Some took to Twitter to express their displeasure or to alternative search engines like Bing.
Google did not comment on the cause of its technical problems. Although the company does not provide figures for “traffic” to its search engine, it is believed to be the most frequently used website in the world, with over 80 billion hits per year.
