Google’s blogging woes – completely un-newsworthy

Maggie Fox, October 22 2006

Under the rather strident and alarming headine, “Google’s Blogging Woes Continue”, I read with complete disinterest this story about a Google staffer who (gasp!) mistakenly posted something to Blogger Buzz instead of her own blog!

On Tuesday, two postings about skull-shaped candies appeared on Blogger Buzz, the official blog of this Google blog publishing service. Their topic and informal tone immediately led readers to wonder about their legitimacy.

I am serious. This, apparently is news. And bad news at that.

I don’t think so. This is an employee making a mistake no more grave than accidentally cc’ing someone on an email about the upcoming office Hallowe’en party when they’re not on the planning committee. This is so not news – and so not a problem for Google.
