Just One More Missing Blog Post

Barackface: The Long March Of Democracy

My only missing blog post now from the Blogger outage of the past two days is not at this blog Netizen but at my other blog Barackface. And I am not worried about it because I already have a copy. It got cross published at Technorati. But I am wondering if it will come back too on its own. It was posted on Wednesday. Something that I posted Thursday had disappeared but is now back. Something else from Wednesday itself is back.

Blogger Is Back We’re very sorry that you’ve been unable to publish to Blogger for the past 20.5 hours. We’re nearly back to normal — you can publish again, and in the coming hours posts and comments that were temporarily removed should be restored. Thank you for your patience while we fix this situation. We use Blogger for our own blogs, so we’ve also felt your pain.

The blog posts I thought I had lost to Blogger's down time are now mysteriously back, and I am so glad.

I had lost more than I thought I had lost. But they are all back now. All is well that ends well.

Lost A Whole Bunch Of Blog Posts

Nope, it was way more than one.

I just did a Google search on "paramendra the mad dash to ubiquity" hoping maybe the lost posts have been saved by Google in cache form. And all my other posts that were also lost showed up in the search results. This reminds me of the "balloon people" rant by Al Pacino in the movie Heat.

And now YouTube is down. What up, Google? Et tu? Google found out I was about to embed that clip from Heat.

Okay, got ya!



The Cloud Outage

All posts from Wednesday and Thursday are gone. Poof. Like magic. The only piece of good news is the blog still did about 1900 hits yesterday while it was in read only mode. That is a good number. Writing for Technorati and getting links to my blog from there has been a boost: Social/New Media: Blurry Lines.

And no, there is no cache. I guess Google is not real time.

And Blogger Is Back

Blooger was down yesterday. It has been down today. But looks like it is back now. Oh Blogger, I have so missed you.

Looks like I lost one blog post. That I remember. And, no, it is not in the draft section. It is simply gone. Poof. Let me see if I can rewrite it from memory. I still have the idea of it. It was called The Mad Dash To Ubiquity.

Gonna Write For Technorati

Image via CrunchBaseI got an email from Technorati a few days back saying they want me to write for them. I promptly agreed. This is not a big change to my lifestyle, if any. All they ask is that I first publish a post at their site. After I do that I can go ahead and publish the same at my own blog.

Why did I say yes? Are you kidding me?

1. There's not going to be additional work for me. I have been an avid blogger on my own. Now I get to cross publish. 
2. This will bring me more visibility. 
3. I get to link to my own blog from my posts at Technorati. That is going to jack up the traffic at my personal blog. This just might be the number one reason to do it. 
4. Technorati is a Top 30 property on the web. I am okay being associated with their name. 
5. They asked for my Google AdSense ID. They will run ads on my behalf to go with my posts. So I guess there might be some money too. I am not complaining.
