Different people have different points of view.

IMHO, if Google losses a datacenter and all users are stuck waiting for a long TTL to run out, that is Very Bad.  In 
fact, I would call even 2.5 minutes (average of 5 min TTL) Very Bad.  I'm impressed they are comfortable with a 300 
second TTL.

You obviously feel differently.  Feel free to set your TTL higher.
