Like many people out there, we have chosen to use the Google-owned Blogger as our blogging platform. We did it because it's user-friendly, easy to get up and running, and free. And it's reliable. Jeckle has been using Blogger since 2004 (even before Google owned it). But it's true that in the past 24 hours, Blogger has had a major outage. It stared with a scheduled update that apparently went awry.
But the outage brought out the very worst in people - especially on Twitter. Such a lot of whining hasn't been seen since at least a couple of weeks ago when Donald Trump whined about Obama's birth certificate. Seriously people, you're using a free service that's been totally reliable for years and years. True that Google didn't do a great job of communicating what was going on, but that was undoubtedly because they were shitting their pants trying to fix it.
But worst of all on Twitter were the smug Wordpress and Typepad folks, trying to get the Blogger folks to switch, as if their platforms are superior. Twats.
Blogger, you may not be good at communicating, but we'll stick with you. Just please give us a little more info next time.
