A human mistake have caused a temporarily "black out" for Google

I've just learnt from my facebook news widget about the news related to a "black out" in which today has incurred Google due to a human mistake. http://tinyurl.com/dzxcbe

I've come across the bug, too, wondering what could have been
happened. (I even tried three different browser, but always with the same negative result!).
Now that I've just learnt the news about how things seems have been going on, I'm thinking that it's really true that error and mistakes (at least with respect to a technological point of view) are (almost) always to be imputed to the human being,(http://tinyurl.com/d8apqz) cause machines do nothing more than execute what they've been told to do, therefore every mistake is (almost) always to be reconducted to man's fault.
Sometimes also bigs can fail !
Anyway Google remains always the top among search engines.

Google and blogger play: watch the blogs go by

I was posting when I noticed, running across, another new feature and functionality by Google on "Google buzz" (The bullettin board breaking news about Blogger directly from the Blogger team at Google.) http://buzz.blogger.com/

Blogger play is an online application for showing a random gallery of photos as they're posted by blogger's users and always up to date. A never ending stream of photos by bloggers: motion and still motion!
The concept has some taste attaining to philosophical and religious matters: think to the images raised by Hesse's Siddharta!

It seems very interesting and I've begun thinking a bit of its possible developments and consequences.

After all, with different hi-tech companies competitors launching their slideshow tools for web users in the current Web 2.0 arena (as known Google itself has long ago acquired the Picasa application) this move was on one hand to be expected, but on the other contains definetely important elements of novelty (such as, for istance, random and massive collaboration aspects).

It's sure another evidence of the amazing cleverness and hard working of Googgle Labs, even if sometimes passing through the inevitable and physiological setbacks or leaks and bugs of testing stages (I'm thinking to the debut of these page themselves (I started using blogger around the end of 2006 and then different problems made it practically unusable), on which I'm currently writing perfectly with no problem.

You can find the application at the following link: http://play.blogger.com/

The user can always opt not to show his/her own photos as a privacy option.

Enjoy with Blogger play and let the blogs go by !
