If you're like me, you're constantly setting up test blogs to show clients, friends and others how easy it is to launch and maintain one. Perhaps you even use them to "jam." I always make sure to keep these private. Furthermore, I delete the blogs as soon as the show ends. However, it's very easy to forget.
Apparently, Weblogs Inc. (WIN), now part of AOL, forgot. Earlier this year their BlogSmith coders got together to jam and they launched a special blog called BlogJovi. BlogSmith powers all of the Weblogs Inc. blogs. As of the time of this writing the test blog is still live. There are no links to it on Technorati.
There isn't anything particularly damaging on the blog. Although it does talk a bit about knowledge sharing between the WIN teams and AOL. Still, if I were an advertiser on Weblogs Inc., it would give me pause. It's a bit of an embarrassment to the WIN team, even if it is a good reminder for the rest of us.
