2012 means a public sites update

We just updated the public sites available on Etherpad.org.  We removed a lot of old sites and replaced with some great new ones.  If your site has been removed then feel free to ask why in the comments and we will try our best to work with you to ensure your site meets our public site requirements.

Welcome to 2012 everyone, it’s going to be a Heck of a year for the Etherpad foundation so stay tuned in for a plethora of exciting announcements!

Report Post As Inappropriate

The day I gave up on Google


I can’t even give Google my money. I can’t contact them. I can’t report a bug. I can’t use their services and/or pay them to improve their services.

Microsoft’s alternative to Google’s product is a joke, no surprise there…

So I give up… Web Search via an API. You are broken, you need help, someone call a doctor.  Google, you need a better way of communicating with your customers, take a lesson from Amazon, you are great at learning so learn, evolve or die.

RIP Google – 15/12/2011

If you depend on Google for a service I can only recommend that you have a “Get out plan”.  Know about how to liberate your data and consider some alternative options.  Think about the important data you are going to lose when you liberate your data and how costly it will be to replace that data.  This is also a great opportunity for me to plug open source software and the freedoms that gives you.
