Google DNS just disappeared

Is anyone else seeing that Googles DNS records just disappeared?

I just lost all connectivity to Google services including google.com,
plus.google.com, Public dns, etc.

Service just returned,

DNS is active and connectivity directly to IPs are working again. Guess it was
just a blip.

Weird, works fine from here (near Boston, MA, USA). Tried from London & Tokyo, all three different ASNs. Works fine everywhere I tried.

It appeared to be very brief, I just happened to be in a Google Plus Hangout
when the chat died then my Gtalk died followed by my Google homepage.

By the time I got done checking DNS and was getting on a trace-route server my
chat reconnected and service was back to normal.

Just thought it was unusual to see all my Google services go offline at the same
time.

If you want to be able to ask Googlers directly on issues like this, you
might try Google+. I am trying to spam, it is just that they are all
available on there. Here is something Scoble posted the other day:

I just spent an hour talking with a Google exec about + and I came away

with a few things:

1. Google employees used to not be able to tell you what they are working
on. Those days are gone.

2. There is more intellectual curiosity inside Google than I have seen in
quite some time.

3. The + team is driven by our excitement and that has caused sizable
shifts in employee attention. Translation: new features are coming. Everyone
wants to work for a winner.

This new Google attitude is something that feeds on itself. Translation: I
am excited about the future here in a way that I was never excited about
Buzz.

It has been a while since I posted, but if anyone wants an invite, ping this
account or pirkster at gmail.
