Google Voice Invites Soon
Thursday June 25, 2009
Google isn't opening the service up completely, but they are starting to send invites out to their waiting list. What's more, they've introduce a cool new feature to help you find the perfect permanent number.
Back in the ancient days of two years ago when I got my GrandCentral account, the only way to pick a number was to browse through a long list of numbers and hope to find one that was easy to remember. Now you can search for words or letter-number combination. It almost makes me wish I could get a do-over.
If you haven't done so already, you can sign up for the Google Voice waiting list at www.google.com/voiceinvite.
Not exactly for the post, but I read at your biography:
If you want to see where the Web is going, look at Google. They don’t always get it right, but they’re definitely the company to watch
And, really, I agree, you can see: I, me and I are the 3 unique world’s important things. Substitute of Microsoft, perhaps, with the same spirit. The politics with AdSense is absolutly repulsive.
You write in Top 10 AdSense Don’ts that: “Google doesn’t play around when it comes to click fraud”. And I can continue: “Google doesn’t play around when it comes to Google revenue”. If you are a little publisher, the politics is like Wikipedia says, and I think they are soft. It’s my experience.
I was a little publisher. I don’t do nothing illegal, I think. They don’t tell me nothing, either, simply, they put me off (90 dollars in my account – they really going to advertisers?) How many thousands of publishers have the same situation by month? A lot of money, really.
My principal problem is the explanation they give me, worse than Microsoft or any else can:
In spanish, they tell me (copy/paste from mail):
En una reciente revisión de nuestros datos, hemos detectado que su
cuenta de AdSense ha supuesto un riesgo importante para nuestros
anunciantes de AdWords. Puesto que el mantenimiento de su cuenta en
nuestra red de editores podría perjudicar económicamente a los
anunciantes en el futuro, hemos decidido inhabilitarla.
Consideramos que esta medida es necesaria para proteger los intereses
de los anunciantes y los de los demás editores de AdSense. Somos
conscientes de que esta situación puede causarle molestias, por lo que
agradecemos de antemano su comprensión y cooperación.
So, no explanation at all, simply GET OFF. Perhaps because I’m a little publisher, I suppose.
I write to him, I tell I do nothing illegal, and they replay:
Le agradecemos que nos haya facilitado información adicional. Sin embargo, tras revisar detenidamente los datos de su cuenta y tomar en consideración sus comentarios, seguimos creyendo que su cuenta supone un peligro importante para nuestros anunciantes. Por este motivo, no podemos readmitirla. Gracias por su comprensión.
So, get off again, no explanation, AND, I’m a important danger for advertisers! Wao! Important danger!
Really, I don’t expected thinks like that from Google. And, I assure, I did nothing illegal (or I don’t know what, really).
Did you still support this guys?
Thanks for reading, and sorry for the “out of topic”.
