Google's "Oops "

Google accidentally deleted its official Google blog Monday afternoon leaving its Blogspot URL vacant, apparently leaving it to be picked up by some random person. After an hour or so, the blog was reclaimed along with a Google apology:

"We've determined the cause of tonight's outage. The blog was mistakenly deleted by us (d'oh!) which allowed the blog address to be temporarily claimed by another user. This was not a hack, and nobody guessed our password. Our bad."

That's pretty bad (and humiliating) that Google can't get it together -- what hope is there for other corporate blogs?
