The "Community" is watching
Your feature may be "Objectionable", beware before you join Blogger.
This is how Blogger (owned by Google Inc.) describes the new "feature": "The Flag button allows the blogging community to easily note questionable content, which in turn helps us take action when needed. So we're relying on you, the users, to be our eyes on the web, and to let us know of potential issues that are important to you." [...] "We generally do not review the content posted through our service but our responsibility extends beyond Blogger users to casual readers of Blog*Spot. The Flag button is a means by which readers of Blog*Spot can help inform us about potentially questionable content, so we can prevent others from encountering such material by setting particular blogs as unlisted. This means the blog won't be promoted on Blogger.com but will still be available on the web — we prefer to keep in mind that one person's vulgarity is another's poetry. Or something like that."
Paid service has advantages, old enough tune.
In the meantime is unclear what Schumacher is still doing at Ferrari besides filling contractual obligations. Michael has never been popular here but give him a car to drive. Rumors are he's in talks with Merc. And is naive to believe Valentino Rossi will save Ferrari, he was born on two wheels, don't forget.
Talking of heroes (and heroines), around this time a century ago Greta Garbo was born. Time to go rent Ninotchka again.
