    Bug Google+ runs out of disk space, spams users with notifications !!!!!

    Google+ haters you have a good news . Some early adopters of Google+ have found themselves bombarded with multiple notification messages in their email, due to a bug in the social networking's code after the site - astonishingly - ran out of disk space.

    Vic Gundotra, Senior Vice-President of Social for Google, posted an apology (appropriately enough) on his Google+ account to those users affected, painting the social network as having been a victim of its own success.



    Please accept our apologies for the spam we caused this afternoon.

    For about 80 minutes we ran out of disk space on the service that keeps track of notifications. Hence our system continued to try sending notifications. Over, and over again. Yikes.

    We didn't expect to hit these high thresholds so quickly, but we should have.

    Thank you for helping us during this field trial, and once again, we are very sorry for the spam.

    It's pretty embarrassing for Google+ to suffer from such a bug - you can hardly imagine how the site could conceivably "run out of disk space", even if it is still technically undergoing trials.
    Hmm Interesting ehh ?? . Have a nice day .

    I don't need to know everything, I just need to know where to find it, when I need it.

    Probably not. Mark Zuckerberg places top priority on "more servers" for Facebook.
    Server crash is something Mark wants to avoid since the beginning.
    I talk like I know Mark very wel, but I guess only through "The Social Network" movie. LOL.
