Google Official Blog Deleted March 27 2006

Friday, March 3rd, 2006

Back in April 2004, Google launched their blog at googleblog.blogspot.com. But somehow, in the past few hours, that blog has been completely deleted from the Blogger servers, and users are instead seeing a “Not Found. The requested URL was not found on this server. Please visit the Blogger homepage or the Blogger Knowledge Base for further assistance.”

When tempted with a vacant blogspot URL with a PR9, one blogger did what many are probably very envious of… register the googleblog.blogspot.com blog URL.

Google, fix your blog pleeasssee! <3>(P.S. Just to clear things up, I’m not associated with Google at all. I just wanted to take advantage of this before someone else with less worthy intentions did. The username was giving a 404, so I tried registering a new blog with it. Surprisingly, it worked. Oh, and no posting URLs in the comments or else they’ll be deleted.)
