Google Groups in 1969 ? Funny Bug !
Posted on 27. Jan, 2007 by Sankaranand in Technology
Today when i was Organizing one of a Google Group called Hyderabad Masti i found this funny bug while browsing their member lists.
The list showed like in the below screen shot, all the members of the group has been joined on Dec 31, 1969. Doesn’t that sound wired ? Internet during 1969 ? He He nice bug. 
This bug might have been an effect of the recent Google Groups transformation from its earlier version to the new version. This group actually contains 4k+ members maybe Google should be lazy enough to update their membership info.
What really makes me laugh is that the Group Owner Amby whose list shows that he has joined in the year 2004 but other members joined in 1969. Members join before group owner create group ? I know its a silly question but i was just kidding with.. Myself, i am the Group moderator and my list shows up that i joined in 2006.
Aware of any other bugs in Google Groups ? Share your comments about it !
Do you think Google Groups should still be Beta ?
