Mark Lucovsky's blog goes 404 for a few hours today and Dave Winer goes ballistic:
Editorial: Lucovsky shouldn't have trashed his former employer in a Google-owned space. But you don't pull the site because of that. You learn, grow, show your mistakes, do it better next time. Mark L's former employer gets it, Google does not. The company that owns Blogger has not one clue what blogging is about.
Never ascribe to malice what can be adequately explained by being new to blogging! In fact, a bit later Lucovsky, who is no Mark Jen, explains what happened:
Sorry about my blog being down. Looks like someone actually read it… Oh yeah, and Google had absolutely nothing to do with my Blog being down. I took it down, on my own, so that I could shut down the inbound email comment stream.
