Ok, so here is where an “anonymous” blogger calls someone a skank.
Google – ya collective putz – A simple message saying, “we apologize for the inconvenience, but the username NoIAmChuck is already taken by YOU, on YOUTUBE.” I realized today when something a friend of mine had on another site linked to YouTube, and it asked me to sign in because it was ‘mature’. I can’t have NoIAmChuck@GMail.com because I already have a YouTube account under NoIAmChuck. Both are part of Google.
Google told some stranger, by court order, who was behind their avatar. They couldn’t tell me that even though my contact e-mail was the same for GMail and YouTube.
Sometimes, an entity gets too big to be effective any longer. Has Google finally hit critical mass?

Yup you are a jerk for taking your own name. Jerk. =)
Yeah I think that Google has become too big for its own britches (shuddup NIAC is old and therefore would understand that reference that I had to google). LOL
I call it the Microsoft Effect. The outsourcing, the monopolizing, the buying out of the competition and eventually the loss of the spirit that was an idea to change the world for the good. Sadly it hasn’t and probably doesn’t work out that way.
Too much money changes people and if you don’t believe me, talk to a collection agent on the phone, or try and see if you can find a regional manager for BC Hydro. They only want to talk to you because you have money that they consider to be theirs. Pay yup and they disappear. Sorry I went off on a tangent.
