Google Outage in Europe

I think it's just you, probably recency bias. I recall the days of Gmail being globally down for hours, more than once (3 times, IIRC), back in 2009.

I also can't think of the last time I saw Twitter's Failwhale, which almost became their default mascot at one point.

(Yes, I know they discontinued it, but I haven't seen the service "over capacity" in some time. I say this as a casual web user of it, not an active account holder or app user).

Twitter had a global outage this year (April 16).

Facebook had an October outage.

This happens quite regularly with distributed and complex systems.
