... and GMAIL goes DOWN !!!!I read a few articles on the subject, and most claim that the Gmail outage recently (two hours worth) was fixed and things are back to normal, but I have had short outages all day long. Yesterday was also plagued by Blogger glitches, and anyone with the new drop down comment form with word verification was having a slow day ... because the word verification NEVER LOADED! I hate the new Blogger comment forms. They are always glitching and wasting my time. If you have one, please go back to the ugly pop out like the rest of us.
Many, and in fact most people lost Followers on their Blogger blogs as well.
My Number went down 20!! This is from Lillie's Life ... " Lots of people lost followers and they are all so anxious - I have had emails from people asking why I am not following them anymore. For real. I used blog roll not follower to check blogs. Anyway, here is the thing about Followers and how to fix it.To fix the Follower issue, go to Dashboard. On the left you will see "Manage". Click on that. To the right of each blog if you see "Anonymously" against any blogs you are following, you needs to change it to "Publicly." It often reverts to Anonymous for some strange reason. Now you will appear on that person's blog. I imagine they have to do the same to reappear on your blog. " ... Thanks Lillie :-)
Note: I have not used the FOLLOW feature of Blogger because I follow hundreds of blogs, and rely on Feeds, Readers, my own blogroll, and Email alerts.
The Epic Gmail Fail had Twitter Tweeting and spreading wide spread dooms day madness. Twitter users are the most panic stricken group on the planet, because cyber chat and on line communications are like their lifeblood. It is still unclear what happened, but Google says it's investigating the problem. Thank goodness I have 7 different mail accounts, and 5 different blogging mediums. Even my closest blogging friends have never seen THIS BLOG: " Adventures in Garbage "
