Google Maintenance Update Brings Down Blogger – TNW Google. You know it seems that the larger some companies grow, the more like the government they become. Rather than being dependable and useful, they turn into unreliable and inefficient services.

In all fairness, WordPress, Tumbler and other blogging services have had problems as well. However in the WordPress case, they were being attacked and Tumbler doesn’t have the resources of a multi-billion dollar corporation. Given the reputation of Google failures look even worse. It may be unfair but when you are good at something, people expect you to be good at everything. When you are not, then people start to question how well run the things that formally you held in high esteem.
