What Google did right

On Saturday, Google killed the Internet -- at least for about an hour. Saturday morning, between 9:30a.m. and 10:25a.m. Atlanta time, no matter where you were in the world, if you did a Google search, you'd see the message, "This site may harm your computer" returned for each result.

Given that more than half of all Internet searches are done using Google, this effectively meant that most Web accesses resulted in a dire warning. That was obviously a serious error in Google's operation. What's most interesting, though, is how well Google handled the problem.
