The Case of Google’s Michael Jackson Queries

‘thought this was crazy… an great influx of search queries on the death of the King of Pop (Michael Jackson) led Google News to believe they were under attack!

“As a result, for about 25 minutes yesterday, when some people searched Google News they saw a ‘We’re sorry’ page before finding the articles they were looking for,” Google said.
