Hello all, For several weeks now I have been seeing many complaints from Blogspot users. Today I recieved an email notice from a blogging group and I just can't continue to watch what is happening and not inform those that haven't been affected yet. Here is what was sent to me (and permission to share): =========================== Google continues to get it wrong with regard to deleting blogspot blogs using automated methods. My 77 year old mother-in-law's family history blog was deleted. Porno spammers and phone sex sites now occupy the top positions on Google, Yahoo and MSN for some completely non-adult related terms because Google refuses to acknowledge they have a problem. Matt Cutts (Google spam engineer) has ignored comment posts on his blog about the issue. The link below is another interesting article on the problem Google is having with identifying which blogs should be automatically deleted to reduce spam. If your blog has been deleted then don't feel so bad. Google deleted their own blogspot blog. http://www.bloggersblog.com/cgi-bin/bloggersblog.pl?bblog=328062 Google actually had recourse and got the blog back. You have no recourse. If they delete your blog, it will be gone and some porno spammer will end up owning it. Some proposed new slogans for Google: "Evil is as Evil does" "You get what you pay for" "Buyer Beware" "Don't let the door hit you on the way out" "Google search is like a box of chocolates ... You never know what you're gonna get." ... and a few slogans that are already used ... "In the end, there will be only one" - from "Highlander" "One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them" - J. R. R. Tolkien from "The Lord of the Rings" Google is also out trying to patent free WiFi and delivery of advertising over wireless. I wonder if they cited my work as prior art. Bill Austin http://www.quotescentral.com/ =========================== This is just one example and I have had other friends and aquaintences tell me similar things how they lost their blog(s) and have not had response from Google at all. My suggestion is to back up what you have and be ready to move it elsewhere. backup all entries and copy your template into notepad so you may continue on a new service if needed. __________ Newest Release: Podcasting For Fun & Profit!

Thank you Ken for the information. However I must say I'm not involved. I'm still trying to find places to place my articles, blogspots & etc. Still learning & lovin it. :)

Hello Kenneth, Boy it's been awhile since we heard from you! How are things going? Thanks for the information on this. I am still working on incorperating my blogg into my website with Visual Studio. Got a long way to go yet. Have you been using it lately? A lot of code to learn and binding all that data is work. Well you have a Great Day! Jerome Pfeifer Sr

Hello Jerome, You are right, has been awhile. Unfortunately I haven't been able to do much for I got hit a couple of weeks ago and my computer was compromised badly. I was hit by SpyFalcon with it's trojan virus and ended up backing up zillions of files and having to reformat my harddrive. The winlogon.exe was corrupted (a critical file for Windows) and wouldn't allow me to even re-install Windows XP Home Media Edition. I had to install XP Pro instead and then go through the whole updates of patches, re-install Office XP Pro and updates, antivirus and firewall. Still have yet to move all files back on the system. And going through this while launching a new community program similar to MySpace, finalizing a divorce and my business partner's mother having a heart attack! What else could you ask for? ;-) So all on .ASP has taken a backburner for now until I get straightened out. But glad to see you are at it and I will look into your mind as soon as I can dive into it. __________ Newest Release: Podcasting For Fun & Profit!
