I downloaded Google's add-comment FireFox extension. I thought it is neat to comment on a interesting web page and have the link preserved at the same time in a relevant blog post (This works more like a scrapbook, only for the web). However, first try at www.citrix.com the extension failed to log me in. I tried both my Google account and my blogger account.
As described by previous posts, I converted to Blogger beta last week. Maybe this is one of the glitches for the SSO (single sign-on) the new Blogger beta is using. Strange thing is course, none of those valid accounts work.

Blog is not part of the Web -- overengineering at Google ?
More often than not, when I search for a non-mainstream topic, I couldn't find it in Web or Group using Google search. However, search by 'blog' may get me a boat-load of results. I wonder why Google doesn't integrate blogs into its web search.
Blogs are mainly addition/appending, just like regular web page. Therefore blogs should be friendly enough to lend themselves to the same storage and indexing algorithms Google uses for web contents. Why bother to separate them into two tab? Even worse, 'blog' is now a few clicks away, instead of just another tab. Is there some over-engineering sprouted at Google ?
