Ahem... Google's downtime caused a 40% drop in global (to gosquared) traffic. I think the title is misleading under this context.
I think you misunderstood, they were saying that overall there was a 40% decrease in hits to websites that use GoSquared's analytics.
"had a huge effect in the number of pageviews coming into GoSquared’s real-time tracking"

I get it and no disrespect, but not sure that I would need an analytics provider to know what happens when google goes down for any period of time.
I guess I was hoping to see a bit of analysis as to options available to compensate for these instances. I kinda already knew that we rely on a handful of major players for everything, the hope that we can effect some change in that structure is why we hack-on!

Wonder if that is the same reason why the HN thread talking about the outage was killed as well /sarcasm
The AMS-IX (one of the world's largest internet peering exchanges) does not show so much as a dent.
