Someone who wants to defame me has been commenting on other blogs using my name and insulting the blog owners.
For your info, I rarely comment on other blogs. I know who is after all this, but I won’t mention his name until I get solid proof.
The first blog I found the fake comment on was Robert Scoble’s blog.
The comments are on this and this post.

I contacted Robert and let him know about the fake comments on his blog.
For a few days I had been hearing news about Google acquiring Youtube which I believed was just a rumour, but now Google announced the acquisition for $1.65 billion.
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., October 9, 2006 – Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) announced today that it has agreed to acquire YouTube, the consumer media company for people to watch and share original videos through a Web experience, for $1.65 billion in a stock-for-stock transaction. Following the acquisition, YouTube will operate independently to preserve its successful brand and passionate community.
I spend some time on YouTube almost daily and this is great news for me as I expect Google to improve YouTube’s service a lot more. Google Rules!
What’s your opinion on Google acquiring Youtube?
The official Google Blog was hacked this weekend and a fake post was published claiming that Google discontinued their AdWords click-to-call test.
Later Google removed that post and explained here that it was a bug in Blogger that enabled the unauthorized user to make a fake post on their official blog.
A bug in Blogger enabled an unauthorized user to make a fake post on the Google Blog last night, claiming that we’ve discontinued our AdWords click-to-call test. The bug was fixed quickly and the post removed. As for the click-to-call test, it is progressing on schedule, and we’re pleased with the results thus far.

Google announced today that you can now ping their blog search service here to let them know when you have updated your blog.
If you own a WordPress blog, you can ping them automatically everytime you post by going to ‘update services’ under options/writing and adding http://blogsearch.google.com/ping/RPC2 to a new line.
Note: Doing this may increase the time to publish a post.
