In an unprecedented event when everyone was deep into Monday blues, Google and its other services including YouTube, Gmail, Drive, Docs, Maps and more stopped working for a short period of time in the evening hours of 14th December, 2020.
Google went down and Twitter got to work almost instantaneously!
Twitter soon took it into its own hands to spread the word about “Google Down”!
Hashtags like #GoogleDown, #YouTubeDown, #GmailDown dominated social media.

Everyone says “Ok Google” but no one says “are you Ok Google?” #GoogleDown
