After trying to load a blog hosted on blogspot and failing, I noticed in my RSS reader that Blogger is having database problems today. They say that some sites are unavailable and the service in general is slow. You can check out the Blogger Status site for updates. If you use blogger, you should subscribe to the RSS feed for that page. I subscribe to the company feeds for all the vendors that I know any of my clients use, and I put them in a seperate folder. So I get pretty fast information on service problems – automatically. At least I do from companies that are communicating with their customers.
