googleblatted

Term used to describe the failure of a Web server due to overload as a result of being linked to from a popular website, such as Google. The archetypal example was when the University of Swinbourne's web server crashed after Google linked its logo to it in February 2004. Millions of people clicked on the link, flooding the university's servers and forcing them to shut down. The term carries the additional connotation that highly popular sites such as Google wield considerable political power in this manner.

The University of Swinbourne's fractal website went down for nearly a week when it was first googleblatted and then slashdotted two days later.

Googledotted

Like being Slashdotted only the traffic is from Google, usually when they've adapted their logo to celebrate a special day (like Van Gogh's birthday).

But should it be spelt with an initial capital or not?

Artist Vincent van Gogh was born in the Netherlands March 30, 1853, and today Google celebrates his birthday with a special logo. As usual, the top-ranked site for the search result the logo links to is completely googledotted.

Googleatrophy

Brain Blight. Diminished neural capacity. Specifically, the inability to cognate relative minutia or trivial information due to an over-reliance and/or dependence on Google.

Kristie: “Heaven... I'm in heaven. . .da, da, da. . .I can hardly speak. . . da, da, da. . .When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek. Hey, what’s the line in between?”

Mark “I dunno. Isn’t that that song by that really famous songwriter from the 40’s and 50’s?”

Kristie: “I guess.”

Mark: “What’s his name? I can see his face. . .urgh. . .What’s his name? What is his name! Urgh!
I should know this but I'm suffering from Googleatrophy."

10 minutes later: Google: 40's songwriters.

Mark: “Sheeeet. . .COLE PORTER!"

googlefail

May 14, 2009 - The day that Google failed. All of google's services slowed down to an incredibly slow speed, while some like Gmail and Google Maps were completely unaccessible. While most issues were resolved by noon EST, such an epic fail on google's part has not been recorded in recent history.

Dude 1: Hey man i'm trying to check my gmail and it won't load
Dude 2: wtf?! im trying to get directions to that sushi place and google maps won't load
Dude 3: i just tried searching something on google and it took 15 minutes to load...
Dude 1: could it be?
Dude 2: i think so...
Dude 1,2 and 3: googlefail!
