Win-Win

Blogger should get bonus Corporate Weblog Manifesto points for its Status Blog, and an entry last week from Steve Jenson:

Good Guy Hacker Adrian Lamo got ahold of us a few weeks ago to let us know of a few security holes he found. We checked through the logs and none of them appear to have been used before Adrian found them. We have fixed the security issues and Blogger is better for it. Adrian rocks for not only finding the problem but also for letting us know about them so other people won't be affected. Thank you, Adrian.

Note how Blogger's discussion diffuses the sensationalism or panic that might otherwise go along with a story headlined "Security holes found in Google's Blogger." [via TVC Alert]
