Blogger! Why Was My Blog Tagged as Spam???

What the hell? My oldest blog (http://daysleepered.blogspot.com/) has been tagged as spam! This is outrageous! While tyring to publish i get these system errors from blogger. I've been getting those every now and then, probably once or twice a year, during maintenance. And now I try and login and get an email my blog was tagged as spam!

The only thing I did was use http://draft.blogger.com on one of my other blogs. I was trying it out, for crying out loud. Now I login, see a warning, get a reset for my Blogger account and see that my Google account is mysteriously following all my other blogs! And I can't figure out how to cancel that. I was thinking, I've been hacked! But no, it coincides with spam thing! I don't know what happened! Where I am is at a dead-end. I received a warning through email, its a no-reply address. I did the reset in Blogger, i get a message that practically simmers down to "don't call us, we'll call you" arrangement. I don't know who to email, or IM or where to post to get to the bottom of this. I'm hysterical because I don't know what exactly happened!

Blogger... I DO NOT WANT TO LOOSE A BLOG I'VE BEEN WRITING TO FOR THE LAST 9 YEARS! Give it back to me.


UPDATE: Seems this has happened before: http://www.bloggerbuster.com/2008/08/has-your-blog-been-flagged-as-spam-here.html

Google Apps Team Edition

After they announced the Team Edition of Google Apps, I immediately set out to find out more about it. This is an interesting new way to approach collaboration. When it comes to desktop software, collaboration has always been limited in Open Office and MS-Office has always had that. Cloud computing has become an alternative the tradition desktop office suite but it's never really taken off exactly for the same reason. Microsoft's online version of Office still rules the roost when it comes to collaboration. The Team Edition of Google Apps is a great start for groups that need to collaborate but don't necessarily want to spend an arm and a leg to get that functionality. It's very bare, as far as full office suites are concerned. However, it does fit a niche for teams that only need the basics and collaboration features. Here's a 2-minute video about it:



Try it out and see if it fits your needs. I know I'll be recommending this to my wife who's looking for something exactly like this to use with her team. They only have a small team 8 people and don't need the full everything-but-the-kitchen-sink functionality of say MS-Office.
