We have always known it's a bad thing one big fat company's servers hold so many bits and pieces of our life stashed with them, and a few clicks by someone somewhere could affect us unjustifiably, still until it happens to you, it feels like cynicism and some more. Now, after suffering a virtual homicide of some sorts in blogosphere, I'm forced to wonder - is it time for an un-google-ification. Here's what happened - all the comments I've ever made across blogs, including on my own, have vanished. Without as much as a trace (or an email). Sucks!
That's more than 5 years worth of comments. Did I have no right on them at all? Or the people on whose blogs they were made (like him). I've posted a complaint and stuff, but don't see any help forthcoming. What next - tomorrow this blog can just vanish in thin air? Or, horror of horrors, my gmail account? Makes me furious.
Do I need to prove to google I'm not a spamming bot but a real person - has the world come to this already?
Google is evil.

I blame moti. Mountain View just wants to get used to his coming over there, they've already started screwing up.
Shit this is sooo true!!

Recently, I read a eye opening article in CORNUCOPIA abt Google don't be evil. Well I guess u shd write a strong mail to them and asking for clarification n fixing up this thng (I donno if dey cn do it!!).
@doc: Using kiddo's blog for slandering my reputation... not cool.
And btw - atthi's the one who's coming to mountainview earlier than me.... i still have a lottt of time. So your theory's invalid.
irony...
