Google Lauds Transparency With Status Dashboard
Perhaps getting its inspiration from President Obama’s joint address to Congress and the American people this last Tuesday, Google has decided to also increase its transparency with the public. In actuality, Google’s decision probably has more to do with Tuesday’s Gmail outage, which lasted for about two and a half hours.
