Google News, the online news aggregation service by Google witnessed outage yesterday for long two hours. It would have affected referral traffic on many of the online publications, says market watchers.
The unavailability of news service for long two hours has led to a decline in referral traffic across many online news publishers. This is not the first time that Google is facing such a problem. Few days back, Gmail also faced the same problem. The mail in fact had faced the outage problem thrice this year.
According to the recent updates, Google News service was down from about 12:25 p.m. to 2:20 p.m. PDT. However, the issue has been resolved for now but it again fuels the debate of cloud services over conventional approach. The problem occurred due to a router overload after some routers were taken offline for maintenance.
The related sources said that web services are commonly faced and indicated that even Facebook users faced problem while logging into the site on Monday.
The outage seems to be a recurring problem with many of the Google free services. To maintain the performance scale of many of its paid service, Google maintains an Apps Status Dashboard but no such information is offered for its free services.
