It is with some trepidation that I have returned to the blogetery platform.In fact this is now the third time I have attempted to migrate from Wordpress.Com.
The first time, I lost over three months of postings when Bundublog keeled over, the result of bad server management. Needless to say I didn't go back. But Blogetery is a different story. Unlike Bundublog, the incident this time was clearly about net neutrality and more specifically the freedom of blog publishers to publish.
Blogetery have assured users there is now "bullet-proof" Amazon backup strategy in place and the last episode involving their ISP Burst.Net is unlikely to happen again, especially given the exposure received.
Like many bloggers who were left stranded after blogetery simply disappeared, I resorted to the Internet. Mailing friends, tweeting and kicking up a general fuss seemed like the best way to resolve the issue.
There were quite a lot of reports, most notably by the BBC. So at least blogetery didn't go silently and I am sure we are all glad it is back.
With an adsense revenue sharing plan in place, hopefully we will all be booted to the next level, able to purchase premium themes and domains. Believe it or not, but this kind of thing means a lot to somebody living in a developing country, with unequal exchange rates that change the value of such services by the order of 10x.
