GOOGLE'S bog-dwellers have swamped the outfit's user forum complaining about how erratic the site has been for the last few weeks.

Even the most loyal of bloggers has been complaining here that the service is total pants, with users unable to log in, or find their own words of wisdom online. One moaned: "I don't know anyone NOT having a problem with Blogger and BlogSpot for the last 10 or more days."

Some believe that while Google's attempts to put spreadsheets online has been getting most of the media attention, no one has noticed how appalling the rest of the service has been getting.

Google didn't reply to our request for information. Maybe its servers are down again. µ

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
