Lots of Blogger users feeling a little queasy..

Including me..

Here's why..

Perhaps the user comment I agree with most comes from a blogger user:
"I have to say that from a freedom of information and users controlling their own data this definitely seems a little evil. I also understand the business case (again, thank you for making it so clearly). .5% of a large number is still a large number. Perhaps there is a 3rd option that will meet the criteria above. The school with domain name issues is just another nail in the coffin. Thank you for the opportunity to respond"

I'm starting to really agree with Steve Jobs..

Another user comments on Google's real motiviation:
"It's obvious the motive here is that Google wants to be in control of everyone's content which is why they no longer want us having our content on our own servers -- exactly what I've argued to people that Google never seemed interested in. Worst in this whole scenario is that Blogger/Google is primarily hurting the users that have been with Blogger the longest -- users that have stuck by Blogger in the days when it was issue after issue. Obviously the issues are ironed out and we no longer matter
