Google’s new social network, Google+ has experienced its first major bug since it was first launched in field trial mode.
Google+ bug: Multiple Email Notifications
The social networking service site operated by Google Inc. in its beta phase has been spamming its users by sending its users duplicate email notifications, with users sometimes receiving dozens of redundant messages for a single on-site action.
According to Vic Gundotra, a Google senior vice president of engineering, the Google+ social networking site which is being beta tested with a limited number of users has malfunctioned, sending repeated notifications via e-mail because it ran out of disk space for about 80 minutes. This is the service that keeps track of notifications that is causing the glitch.
Openly accepting that Google was at fault, Google’s Vic Gundotra further stated in his Google+ post, “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.”
Google+ Other Bugs
A search engine optimization expert says that Google+ is also dealing with other bugs like: Google+ privacy bugs, contact bug, invite bug, +1 bug doesn’t understand URLs with dashes and no AJAX in G-talk search people text box and others.
Google+ is Google’s latest and most high-profile effort to date to launch a social networking service site that vies with Facebook, after a number of failed tries throughout the years.
Google is betting on the +1 site’s mechanism for sharing content ( an important element in professional SEO) to at least shake the pedestal at which Facebook is standing, which Google maintains is more intuitive with its easy to use privacy controls, which are said to be easier than Facebook’s.
