From the post:

"Tomorrow I'm going to feature the very last Google Maps on Google Maps Mania,

The blog now gets 10% of the Google search traffic it did just 18 months ago. With Google attempting to kill off Google Maps Mania it would be like a turkey voting for Christmas for me to continue to promote Google Maps and the Google Maps API.

Last week I came very close to giving up completely. But despite Google I still think there is an audience for the blog. So from Wednesday Google Maps Mania will be featuring maps created with Open Street Map, Map Box, Leaflet and other map providers.

If you have any Google Maps you want promoting you have about 24 hours left to submit them to Google Maps Mania."

I am curious why you pasted the entire content of the linked page as a comment. Is plus.google.com frequently blocked and/or unreachable?


Yes, Google+ is usually blocked on corporate networks. Which is really no big loss.


I think you used the word "usually" to mean "in my narrow and by no means representative experience."


I mean blocked on most major networks by Barracuda and WebSense by default. So, I'll stick with my original statement, thanks.


I think they were more referring to the snarky "no great loss" comment..


I was unsure of the visibility of the page and unsure if the page could be deleted or edited before we had time to discuss it. It was also just a paragraph of text.
