Come On Google!

For the first time since 2001 I am seriously thinking of leaving Blogger and Blogspot--tools and folks I've supported and come to respect over the years.

I have a good bit of blogequity over here, but my initial fears and complaints about the recent changes to the user interface have come to fruition. Blogger is now officially the slowest tool I use. And I use a lot of software tools. Five times in the last 48 hours I went to create a new post, and got so frustrated waiting for the stinking 'create' box to open I gave up. My ideas were gone. I was readily pissed.

What, are they sending every potential post through IR and Crisis Management before the hit the Web or something? Is this what it means to go public?

I don't like losing my ideas.

I'm old. They don't come so quick anymore.

You're on warning, guys.
