Google Alerts turned up an interesting result today: a link to Broadweave's company blog. Obviously, they're still testing it out, so don't expect to find a whole lot on there. (Quick WordPress hint: go to Settings -> Privacy and turn off search engine indexing if you're not ready for it to be public.) About the only thing it has right now are a couple of test posts and some information on billing changes.

The link above serves up a page with the Broadweave template and only the following messgae:
“Not Found
Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.”
I think you may have scared them off.

Looks like the either deleted all of the posts or set them to private. I imagine they didn’t intend for anyone to see it.

Give em a break! They are new to this Internet thing and were not aware that this gizmo called google collects and indexes anything you put up there.

I hope they put it back up. I think it’s a good idea for them to have a blog.

Give them a break…..they are trying to fix a piece of garbage network.

..break: The network itself is not at fault - it’s the premise equipment (i.e. the voice adapter in the portals, set-top-boxes…) and the network services (phone switches, video head-end gear) that are to blame for the majority of the problems.

The blog was largely my fault. I’ve had some conversations with Broadweave arguing that such a blog would be a good idea, and wrote that post and put it on a blog to show how a company blog might be used and make an argument to management for official adoption of a blog.
I’ve never used wordpress, though, and wasn’t aware it contacted Google by default. Thanks Jesse for that tip.
I do think the blog is a good idea and I’m glad you guys agree. With so much happening in such a short amount of time and with so many sources of information, some reliable and some not, it’s a really good idea for Broadweave to have a fast, official voice for keeping people informed.

I’d love to be informed too!
There is a Broadweave customer driven web site for those that live in Traverse Ridge. Started by one of the residents.

Can you hear that giant sucking sound coming from Provo… yea it’s Broadweave. They have no financing, no capital operating money, and no brains. Thay are busy trying to break a perfectly good network just in time to go belly up…
