Blogger having major outage problems

From Digg, Blogger is having major outage problems.

Google's Blogger & Blogspot services have been experiencing major outages since Thurs. Feb. 2nd making many popular blogs inaccessible. Since Google provides no support, frustrated users have been flocking to the Bloggerforum.

In addition, Blogger's site providing updates on the problem, http://status.blogger.com , is also down now.

These outages are effecting some well known blogs published by lawyers and other professionals. Blogger blogs hosted by blogspot may have been an acceptable blog platform a few years ago. Today, professionals should be steering clear of Blogger for both its lack of features and problems like this.

    Thanks for this information. Does anyone know of a very simple alternative to Blogger? The reason I use it is because it's so easy. I'm prepared to look elsewhere…but damn it I've just gotten my b/cards printed up with my blogspot address on!

    One, get your own domain so do not have future problems, not the least of which are business cards.
    Two, good cheap alternative, short feautures for a business blog, is TypePad from Six Apart. Would not screw around with anything else unless you are a programmer and designer.
