Blogspot appears to have been down for most of the day – yet I’m not hearing cries all over the Blogosphere.  This is in sharp contrast to the recent major  Typepad outage , where the world seemed to have come to an end    Is it the “you get what you pay for” effect, i.e. a free service can go down anytime, or is it the fact that Power-bloggers who can generate a lot of noise are all on Typepad?
