Would the world be better if we never had the internet?
With all of this Google study mania this week, it begs the question: Would we be better off, as a human race, never to have the information superhighway created? Just curious…

The day that blogger.com went down
It doesn’t happen much. But when it does go down, Blogger takes a lot with it.
Update: When Blogger went down, it took 30 hours of posts with it *At least Tumblr doesn’t steal posts..

The Blogger snobbers don’t know what to say
It’s not often the Google blog team has trouble..But for hours so far today they have. Blogs are down, posts are being deleted, and all sites hosted on Blogger.com have been put into ‘read only’ mode.. This as Blogger attempts to upgrade and redo its system *and make it look a bit more like Tumblr in style and approach, as well..
I find it fun, though, that the Blogger snobbers, who have bashed the reliability of Tumblr for some time now, find themselves without a platform of expression.. This as Tumblr tumbles and reblogs itself into the evening hours this Thursday night.
But as someone who has a blog on Tumblr, and one on Blogger, I have come to learn the hard way that a third site I seldom update but still own is the best: It’s pure HTML, uploaded and updated in Notepad. Nothing can go wrong unless I don’t pay a bill…
I guess in the end the net is a fragile place.
I have often wondered what I’d do were I to find my Twitter Tumblr Blogger and others all deleted. I think it would be a FTPing shock, but life would go on. And maybe it would all be better, at that..

I’m curious to ask my followers, and other Tumblr users, this question
Is Tumblr, in your mind, trustworthy? Do you feel confident not backing up your data? Do you think the amount of times the site goes down has been an impairment to gaining credibility? .. Someone I know told me every time they tried to read Coal Speaker, it was unavailable.. thoughts? ideas? ..
