It took me over a half hour to access my blog today.

Google accounts are now integrated with blogger. so I was signing in with my google id instead of my blogger id but I couldnt figure that out for half an hour because both the user names were the same!!!

all in all its really fucked up! having to spend almost an hour to put up a 10 minute blog!!!!

Interestingly I've just enrolled for a masters program in ubiquitous technology which talks about these problems - where the computer as a machine and a stranger (any new website potentially) sucks up more attention and time than most of the tasks you may perform using it.

I just noticed that Google owns Blogger, Gmail and Orkut! and they seem to be tying it up now! Thats a Lot of people and information about information that people and peoples friends are looking for!
