They said that Google has a partnership with a group that receives complaints and flags sites as harmful for Google. Google just decided to flag every site as harmful today! :D

I got that this morning as well. It lasted for a while and went away.
Pretty strange, hun?
It even flagged google as potentially harmful!!!
Oh, the irony... XD
I'm curious as to the economic backlash that resulted from this.
time to go back to iwon.com
First time I'd ever seen Google break.
It sort of hammered home how much we take Google for granted. I was like "what do I do now? Wait, what did we do 10+ years ago... Altavista?" Scary prospect, returning to even less relevant search results.
Apparently it caused a bit of chaos here in the UK when tax returns were due in and people were doing them last minute online. Because like 95%+ of people don't actually use the browser's address bar or even know it's there. They just type w ww.hmrc.gov.uk into Google (or their ISP's home page which usually uses Google), hit search, and then click on the result that comes up.
I prefer Yahoo! to Google as I find I get better results and it's a bit tidier. I use Google if I can't find what I want with Yahoo!. If I can't find anything using either of those, screw the internet. :(
I didn't notice a thing, but I don't use Google that often ( Even though it's the only search engine I use. )
My emulators and chat programs occupy me very well.
Leeza: Dogpile.com is pretty good!
