BlogSpot Blogger Says He Was Told to Remove MSN Search Box
InsideGoogle reports that a blogger claims Google wrote him and told him to remove the MSN search box he had on his BlogSpot blog. And now the blogger's entire blog has disappeared from BlogSpot. Here is what InsideGoogle has to say:
A BlogSpot blogger claims that he received an email from Google saying that the MSN Search box he had placed on his blog violated Blogger's Terms Of Service. The reasoning was that the box was "obstructing Googles services from operating efficiently and effectively". The blogger, Roberto Dohnert, was told to remove the search box, and plans asking Google the question on everyone's mind, "What the hell are you talking about?"
There are over seventy comments here on Digg. Many commentors are telling the blogger he should have expected this since Blogger is a free service run by Google.
