If the IE problems exposed by Sitemeter weren’t enough, Blogger is once again having a major malfunction. Over the last couple days, many blogs, from Badger Blog Alliance to Folkbum’s Rambles and Rants, have suffered the wrath of an out-of-control Blogger, and their members have been blocked by Google from putting up new posts as they have been dumped into the Google/Blogger “splog” file.
At first, I thought this was an extension of the war against the PUMAs that happened the other week, mainly because my feed reader is highly right-centric (self-preservation is an honorable goal, after all), and the that’s where I noted the problems. However, the reports are starting to come in that the left end of the blogosphere is also being heavily-affected. Once again, a technology I left behind (more or less; The Bar is still a Blogger/Sitemeter place) has demonstrated an Epic FAIL.
Hopefully everybody will get the splog lock lifted quickly.

Apparently the SiteMeter problem caused an endless loop, which triggered the ’splog’ alerts at Blogger.
Synergy amongst technologies I hate; I love it :-P
