#82Can anyone else confirm or deny that over the last 6 months, GTalk, at least in iChat/Adium has been getting worse and worse in terms of random disconnects.
I'll have days where it's stable, and I'll have days where it just disconnects/reconnects 10 ties an hour (on different networks that day).

#83For one second i thought Google.com is down. That would have meant the internet is down!
What you find in google is a subset of the world wide web which is a subset of the internet. There is much more to the internet than you think.

#86It seems like something related to Google+ integration. Today, my real name and the location that I had had in Google+ is appearing as my Google Talk name and status rather than the old nick/status that I had set.
They used to have something similar back in the days of Orkut. The Orkut name would get set as the Google Talk name. People used to change their Orkut names a lot to say something "cool". Then suddenly they stopped syncing the accounts with Orkut and the name that you had on Orkut stuck.
Shouldn't be a problem now with how strict they have been regarding Google+ names.

The cause is a core infrastructure failure I believe edit: It was a change to talk, not sure what it was that failed yet. edit 2: Google Talk has been restored for some users and should be resolved for all in near future.

I mean that in the "genuine curiosity" sense, not the usual snarky xkcd sense. What do you know? Who do you know? Please elaborate.
Have they angered Midas and his mighty golden touch? Did they finally get enough of them down at the same time to where they couldn't bring any of them back up? Circular dependencies are fun that way.
I was on call the day of a cascading failure event some years ago for something not too different than this. They kept trying to blame my service, but it wasn't us. We were actually staying up despite the extra load being created by all of the thrashing. It turned out to be something else entirely.

#89A few minutes ago it worked from Pidgin, now I reboot on Windows and try Google+ and nobody is online. Found it very weird, but this explains... Odd though that it says it's disrupted since 12:40PM and it worked under an hour ago (it's now 16:30 here).
Edit: And I can access it again (16:34)
