Blogger Outage Caused by "Data Corruption"

Google's Blogger service was restored on April 13, 2011, after a global outage that lasted at least 20.5 hours.

"During scheduled maintenance work Wednesday night, we experienced some data corruption that impacted Blogger’s behavior," the company says on the Blogger blog. "Since then, bloggers and readers may have experienced a variety of anomalies including intermittent outages, disappearing posts, and arriving at unintended blogs or error pages."

A small subset of Blogger users (Google estimates 0.16 percent) may have encountered additional problems specific to their accounts.

All day April 12, 2011, Google put Blogger in read-only mode while restoring content. As part of the repair process, Blogger rolled back to a Wednesday May 11th version, leading to deletion of material on a temporarily basis.

In the afternoon of April 13, Twitter is reporting service disruptions as well.
