After years of losing business to Google, search rivals got some of that traffic back on Monday as Internet surfers sought alternatives to the Web's most popular search engine.
While an Internet worm hampered Google, AltaVista and Lycos, other search engines attracted surfers looking for another source of answers. The worm also targeted Yahoo, though many who said they couldn't reach Google found Yahoo working.
The outage of Google, in particular, caught many off guard.
"It usually works so well that I don't need any other service," said Chris Pieper, a Baltimore-based software professional. "Today it wouldn't work at all."
Baylor University student Jason Wood was searching for information for a class discussion on failed product attempts over the past 25 years when Google returned an error message. Jonathan Bruce was in San Francisco trying to search for articles on the Democratic National Convention and Google's plans for a stock offering when he got the error message as well. Bruce, like many, was forced to seek other ways of finding the information.

Since its inception almost 30 years ago, the internet has been transformed from a primitive device for sharing thoughts and ideas, into a massive network where people pay to connect and read advertisements they don't want, while calling each other "asshats".

It's all the same, those DNS's are just routed through to their hosting.
It did go down all over...I was using Google.kr and it died once. Thats all..one time. A "Bad request error" with some debug code and googles copyright on the bottom with a funky TVLand like google logo up top.
