Blogger outage: What would Pollyanna say?

Dear readers,

Blogger suffered serious issues yesterday. It was down for almost a day and some users, like me,  had problems with their accounts information. My full name was published and some of my readers couldn't leave comments with their Google profile. Besides recent posts AND comments have been temporarily deleted. That means that now my post Movies seen in 2011 so far: the good, the bad and the so-so is not available to read, (edit: posts have been restored, but not your comments) as well your interesting feed back.

So, a nightmare like this would be a perfect challenge for Pollyanna. What positive things do you think she could pull off after this debacle?

a. We learned a lesson! Internet services can be very unstable so from now on we should make a back up copy of our precious texts.

b. It helped to realize how great Blogger has been till now, being a free service and all.

c. Even international and respected companies like Google can fail. That makes everything more human and down to earth.

d. Now you have a great story to tell to your grandchildren. "Well, kids, it was on May 2011, when Google The Company That Now In The Future Rules The World and Has Its Own Army...failed". Kids gasp.

e. You had a few hours in which you could not post and not feel guilty about it.

What do you think?
