Oops: Google Zaps Official Blog by Mistake

Google has pie on its face after staffers accidentally deleted the company's main official blog Monday night and a user unaffiliated with Google temporarily took possession of the Web address.

This is just the latest in a recent string of embarrassing mistakes made by Google employees while handling company data.

While no big firm is immune to mistakes of this type, Google has experienced a string of them in recent weeks, and this is concerning, an analyst said. "It makes it look like Google can't run its own shop and it lowers your confidence in the firm. That's not good for Google's valuation nor for its customers. Google needs to get its house in order," said analyst Rob Enderle from Enderle Group.
