The famous Video viewing/sharing site crashed for a couple of mins a few days back.
That was the message alot of frustrated users got as they tried to visit YouTube starting at around 4:15 p.m. a few days back.
The very popular video service went down for about 30 minutes in the evening. Service was restored for most by 4:45 p.m.
“Some users encountered errors, or a slower than normal experience on YouTube today. Our engineers worked quickly to address the issue and fixed the problem within minutes. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this caused our users,” a Google spokesperson said.
This was just one of the various problems Google (the owner of YouTube) experienced as it was having one its Black days. The company mistakenly released its earnings results early this morning, halting the stock and causing the price to take a hit. Coincidentally, YouTube went down as it was about to begin live streaming of its earnings call on the service.
The outage was short lived, but it only took the Twitter Nation a few minutes to start airing their complaints on the Social Networking Site, and asking other if it was universally down. Luckily for all those people, Twitter, which experienced its own outage a few months ago, stayed up for YouTube’s brief outage.
