Has anyone else had issues loading anything owned by google?
All month it's been slow off and on. Hell it even times out alot.

Google search, Gmail, youtube,etc etc all the same issues but every other site I use works fine even when google wont load for an hour.... Is it just me or is it googles problem?

I did notice their new google images sucks hardcore. Would not surprise me if that is sucking up all their bandwidth. Who's bright idea was it to load every single result on a single page?!

Also youtube has been sucking on and off since google bought it. Often videos refuse to load, or get all choppy, or only load half way etc

The new layout sucks more and more, too. I have a feeling that secretly, Microsoft is actually the ones running youtube, and not Google. They just keep making it worse.

Ya I was also going to b!tch about the new image search

If it loads when scrolling down crap starts jumping all over the place so you find the image you want while scrolling but then it's gone to another page when you stop and scrolling to find it again is useless as everything jumps around again/
If I go to the bottom and scroll up instead it works fine

Thats IF it loads thumbnails at all otherwise it's all gray boxes that you have to mouse over every individual image to see what it is. Useless, what was wrong with normal pages?

Also youtube has been sucking on and off since google bought it. Often videos refuse to load, or get all choppy, or only load half way etc

Exactly the issues I'm having with you tube also.

I tried searching for news on whats going on with google but it's all useless results lol Thinking about it,
Googles results are no where near as good or accurate as they used to be...

M$ can have it

But glad it's not just me lol

It seems to be a bad cycle companies get into.

A company starts off smaller, organized, and their products are great, and overall everything is great and the improvements get better. Then the company tries to get into too many markets, grows too fast, becomes disorganized, and in a situation where customer satisfaction does not matter anymore, and it goes crap from there. Sadly, I think in the past few years, even Google has reached that state.

Google has past that state. Problem is, "If it's not broken don't fix it" They had a really good system, Why try to better it aside from refining results. Google used to be proud of the fact it was "Simple" and also why it became the most popular. Simple works.

Now it's broken because they don't want simple. Probably a really good time to invest in google as stocks must really be down because of it

It will be fixed eventually. It's just to bad I don't know how to invest,etc because it's gonna go back up once the problem is solved

Someone teach me real quick on how to use a stock market online lol 460.84USD Down 1.18 (0.26%) as of 7:55pm EST on 08/20/10 probably dropped more since.

Donno how to check upto date but M$ stocks are like cheap... wtf. 24.22 USD Down 0.01 (0.04%) as of 7:34pm EST on 08/20/10><
