Gina Trapani over on Lifehacker pointed out that Google had accidentally deleted its company’s Custom Search Blog. You can read about the whole thing on Yahoo! News. Apparently Blogger’s spam detection flagged their Custom Search Blog as a spam blog and decided to do away with it.

While the incident is quite amusing, it does showcase Google’s investment in keeping their Blogger blogging service clean and free of spam blogs and what not. However I certainly hope the accidental deletion of blogs is something that doesn’t occur too often because if I was a user of Blogger and found my blog had been flagged as spam and deleted - I’d be pissed.

This is why I prefer owning my own domain and running the blog myself versus depending on someone else to do it.
