    From the page: "The social-networking world and its monetized back-end social-media circles got their chance to prove themselves recently in their first collective trial-by-fire when Googleā€s entire fleet of services went down for several hours last Thursday. The search giant offered no explanation at first, causing wild rumors to spread throughout the various networks, and productivity slowed to a crawl for many users. Word immediately got out that Google had its own ā€oeFail Whale,ā€¯ as news of the failure hit real-time feeds like Twitter and Facebook like only an Internet-disaster could."
