Is Google the most reliable Internet source?

As Erick Schonfeld reported today on TechCrunch, a new study has come out that shows how reliable Google really is. Amazingly, Google was down just three minutes in Brazil between September 1, 2006 and September 1, 2007, while the United States version was down just thirty-one minutes. Wow.

And if you consider the amount of traffic to Google each day and the total number of queries the site receives per minute, it's truly amazing what Google has been able to accomplish.

Google -- I applaud you for doing what you do and I ask that you continue to do it. In a word, your service is fantastic.

And that's not the best part

Not only is Google reliable, they offer so much functionality it is changing the way we use computers and cell phones. So much so that even super developers (not to mention users) are embarrassed, not just at our inability to create some of these apps, but to even imagine them.

I thought of google first...

I thought of google first, and all the code was done, but I was too busy making other rich guys richer to type it in.

Oh well. Back to work...
