Now, for my farewell note to the people who run blogger.
Dear Blogger team,
I tried to stay faithful to you guys. I'm a big fan of your parent company - Google and I generally use their stuff for search, mail and staying in touch. Unfortunately, your services leave much to be desired. Don't you see that all bloggers will eventually need to categorize their posts? And I need to have trackback functionality. Your service is too amateurish. Hope your guys improve. I just might want to come back.
Cheers,
Sagar
P.S. Btw, Orkut also sucks. Here are a few suggestions for the orkut people:
1) Fix all those bugs! I'm sick of seeing those doughnutty messages!
2) Some people would want their profiles to be searchable on the net! Actually, while searching on Google for a particular person, you should display the orkut results in a separate section, because when most people search for a non-famous name (less than 1000) links, they probably want to know orkut-type of information.
3) Allow more complicated searches than simply based on name. After all, you guys are google!
