An Ode to Blogger

February 02, 2001

Blogger, which is used to power this site along with a great number of others out there in the blog nation has run out of money. The company laid off their staff last Friday. The company now consists of an employee roster of one and a bunch of servers. A public wake is now being held at Metafilter.

The service is still running and Ev assures all Blogger users that the service will continue despite the crisis. However, I am now forced to look at the alternatives for this site and may be looking at a fundemental shift of purpose for this here domain. Hopefully this will not come to pass, but a little reflection is good anyway.

In the meantime I will continue to update this site with my wry brand of web insight and occasional rants as long as Blogger holds out.
