From the New York Times

The widening circle of bloggers who have abandoned the free blogger.com domain as their platform is shaping up as an unusual outcry that could pose a significant challenge to Google’s dominance of the internet, current and former blogspotters said on Thursday.

Blogspot platform user, Tyler DeLeon became the fifth in a seemingly endless stream of bloggers moving to new domains as a response to their outrage at the fact that the blogger.com domain allowed a pedophile to utilize their service.

Another former blogspot platform user told the NYT he was angry at the Google susidiary, and had said, “Screw you guys, I’m going home,” prior to moving to his own domain. There’s a groundswell of displeasure with the company that threatens to bring Google down to it’s knees, experts said.

“This is just the tip of the iceberg. We’ve just begun to scratch the surface,” said Adam Berlitski, one of the disaffected bloggers. “There will be more to follow. It will not be long before Google has no choice but to shut itself down.

Google has dismissed this apparent blogger revolt as the venting of a few minimally read bloggers, who are just attempting to get free publicity.

UPDATE: One of the clerks that works in the mailroom at Google has announced his resignation. This blow to Google is just the first strike leading up to the deathblow. It’s an ominous portent to Google indeed.
