For about 80 minutes yesterday , the positive sign in Google+ meant extra junk e-mail notifications for its millions of users .
What happened ? It was a simple - but - plaguey space take . Basically , the server that keep track of Google+ electronic mail notifications run out of space , and the ensue hemipteran send a cascade of twinned notification out to exploiter for most and hour - and - a - one-half .
Google was quick to issue an apologia and an explanation , courtesy Google+ chief Vic Gundotra :
For about 80 minutes we ran out of disc space on the service that keeps track of telling . Hence our system continued to try sending presentment . Over , and over again . Yikes . We did n’t expect to polish off these gamey doorstep so quickly , but we should have .
As noted at Business Insider and reiterated here , this is Google ’s well - be intimate and take over M.O. : When a beta product launches , its drug user serve as real - world guinea pigs whose actions , complaints and suggestions do to ameliorate the Cartesian product . Sometimes that sour ( Gmail ! ) and sometimes it does n’t ( Buzz ! ) . We ’ll see where Google+ falls on that plate fairly soon , I imagine . [ Business Insider ]
