Ozmozr alpha launched three days ago. Ozmozr is the work of The Center for Open Sustainable Learning (COSL) at the Utah State University and funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

So this group called Warriors for Innocence complains to LiveJournal that some of the pages and communities hosted by the service violate LiveJournal's terms of service and are run by pedophiles. In response, LiveJournal removes about 500 journals.

LiveJournal hosts millions of journals, so the easiest way to do this was to remove (not delete) sites with "objectionable" interests, such as "incest," or "rape." The only problem is that not every community with those interests is expressing some sort of a perverted fantasy. Some communities that were removed may have included sites devoted to survivors of incest or rape.

Six Apart CEO Barak Berkowitz has apologized for the mixup, and admits that LiveJournal did not complete its review of all the sites before removing them. He also says the company should have contacted members before removing their pages, and that the sites are currently being reviewed. All legit sites will be restored today.

Newsfilter: 30,000 customers in the San Francisco area lost power today at about 1:50pm PDT, in a series of power failures which knocked out a major datacenter hub: 365 Main. The hub controls servers for many social media sites, including Technorati, Netflix, Yelp, Craigslist and all Six Apart properties, including TypePad, LiveJournal and Vox. (6A's twitter stream has updates.) More here and here. Amusingly enough, 365 Main tempted fate and released a press release today patting themselves on the back for "two years of 100-percent uptime".
