While Blogger enjoys a 70% market share among the BlogTools, there are several serious bloggers who use other tools like WP, b2evo etc..Then there would be no point in just banning Blogger. On the same note, we had sent a tip or two to DP on the "Go Back Bush" blog we hosted two days back. Not a single mention about this on DP, though its an unique attempt on Indian blogsphere. A case of DP blacking out Anti-Bush sentiemnts ? ;-) This could be a problem with the bug-ridden Blogger itself.

However, the one way around this is to use the nyud block at <a href="http://www.blogger.com.nyud.net:8090/" rel="nofollow">http://www.blogger.com.nyud.net:8090/</a>. Nyud works because of the <a href="http://www.coralcdn.org/" rel="nofollow">Coral Content Distribution Network</a>. I really doubt that Bush's visit has anything to do with it. If anything - it's bad timing. The anti-Bush dissent in Pakistan isn't very loud online. The reason is more likely to do with the Danish cartoons controversy.
