Google ran out of disk space on Google+

Google ran out of disk space on Google+ | Google + Project | Scoop.it
INTERNET GIANT Google has admitted that it ran out of disk space for part of its Google+ social networking service, resulting in a storm of alert notifications to users.
Vic Gundotra, SVP of social [networking] at Google, revealed the situation on his Google+ profile, where he said, "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."
He added that Google did not expect to hit such a high threshold so quickly, but that it should have known better. We can't help but agree, as surely Google would have put a massive infrastructure in place to cope with the load expected from a large number of users joining and using the network.
