Have you backed-up your Blog Today!?!

Have a look at the following Url: Harvard man provides musical solace for bereft bloggers | The Register (1) - looks as if a few bloggers lost some 'valuable' stuff! Also see 3,000 blogs lose their voice | CNet News

Now immediately the question that jumps to mind is - 'Have you saved any of your blogs? I know I haven't! Oops! Time for a wakeup call! Save those blogs - somewhere!!! NOW!!! Now you would have thought the ravings of a few thousand people would be on a backup somewhere? And let this be a lesson in life - never trust ANYBODY!

BAckup


Anyway - ever thought of how all these blogs that are been generated (and lets be frank - 90% of them - like mine is just a lot of rot) - is been ignored by the search engines like Google Search Engine? Apparently a -noblogs search key was investigated at one time as the problem is that the blogs can obscure searches a lot. Of course blogs like mine is always factual and very informative. Yeah right :). I Google quite a lot myself in my line of work but the noise generated by all the blogs tends to make the process harder and harder. Maybe I will write a thesis about The information explosion on the WWW and how it is forcing it to collapse under its own weight. Remember - your read that here first - or maybe second ...

(1) I do not necessarily agree with the sentiments expressed by The Register in its article - I am just quoting the link.
