tins ::: Rick Klau's weblog

So... been a tad busy. Still not enough time to catch up, but here's a glimpse into the last month or so:

• Blogger was targeted as part of the DDoS attack last month, and I wrote a post on Google's Public Policy blog about our response and what's needed moving forward.
• We announced the 10th birthday, and kicked off a series of birthday presents for our users
  
• I announced some significant changes to our DMCA policy, making TechDirt and Plagiarism Today (among others) quite happy
• We hosted a press event on Tuesday, where Ev, Biz, Jory, Scott, Louis and Joe joined Siobhan and I to talk about Blogger's first decade. (Scott's write-up is a good review of the proceedings.)
• Launched two new partnerships yesterday, SocialVibe and InfoThinker (who have submitted a free app for Blogger users to the App Store) (Side note: I added the SocialVibe gadget to my blog, readers have raised over 2700 gallons of water through Charity:Water. How cool is that?)
• Announced a bunch of new stats on the Official Google Blog. (Did you know Blogger reaches over 300 million people per month?)
