A glitch at Google in which every site on the internet was labeled as potentially harmful to users' computers has been blamed on human error.
Surfers across the world complained as search results came back with the ominous warning 'this site may harm your computer' for every single web site on 31 January at around 15.00 GMT.

A minor additional "/" glitch by one of Google's developer that had caused millions of web surfers panic is actually hard lesson learnt about "mono culture"our total dependence on a single vendor /provider.
Is Google a monoculture? If Google isn't it soon will be.
As a Web Strategy and design service provider, I accept that Google is definitely a bench mark in the web world. I think as users we should also utilize other services for effectiveness sort of like "best of the both worlds" philosophy.
I guess getting stuck in a mono culture is like a pure bred dog, e.g: a golden retriever or a black lab are great but they have health issues - bad hips, arthritis etc.If you want a healthy dog you get a mutt I guess :)
May be the google glitch is just over blown, but its a good time to ponder about monoculture dependedncy for our respective business.
