EEYORE is NOT cute and I wasn't posting to blogger at 5:48PM PST
Chris: Hey - what happened to the blog?
Me: ? I haven't touched it since 2am. What happened?
Chris: Basically the post you wrote last night is gone and in its place the blog says "Eeyore is cute!"
Me: I'm at my daughter's girl scout meeting. I don't think my google password was comprimised, but I'll change it as soon as I can
Chris: The post is still in blogger so I am going to republish after saving this off
For those who saw the blog during the half hour when, you would have seen the following
What was it?
Well, it turns out that somehow somebody put a post into blogger that was sent to a bunch of blogs today. Some people seem to think that this is an accident. Personally, I think it's much more dubious than that. Either way, I hope that the folks at Google fix the loophole that lets people post (either accidentally or on purpose) to other peoples' blogs. For us, our blog is one of our most important marketing tools. Having random things show up in it from other people is not something that helps our brand!

Just wanted to say I agree, I'm not too happy about this (it happened on my blog too!) Personally I'm concerned enough to migrate away from blogger now, even if they say it's benign, maybe next time it wouldn't be. I feel my site was compromised considering that's a big permissions issue, and now I've lost sleep over something at the start of the weekend when I could have invested my free time on any number of other things than worrying about my blogs security.
