Originally I was going to write this story about how the YouTube rating system has failed us. Which, I thought, after some contemplation was a really good subject and would be of interest to readers.
I have since been sidetracked after spending a whole day trying to add an AD Group to Google AdWords. Wow, and that’s putting it nicely, what a cluster tuck that turned out to be. If it weren’t bad enough that AdSense does not support delivering ads over HTTPS (SSL) connections without clients receiving a threatening warning that their connection could be insecure or jeopardized in some way, the reliability and speed of of the Google network gives me pause for concern.
Just for the record, I’m a fairly easy going sort of dude, I can work with most people, in most situations. However, the simple task of adding an extra AD Group to my existing AdWords account turned into a real nightmare!
Let me explain. I woke up, it was a Saturday morning and like many Saturday mornings I found myself working on my pet project, my small corner of the web, better known as MY Website. Not a day job but an irresistible passion that I have fondly incorporated as part of my life. Well, like I said earlier, this became an all day event…+ Adding AD Group…Saving…Only to find the severs were over whelmed and I was receiving the message “Network Connection” problem, please wait, try again later, bla bla bla. I never could get the AD Group to save and being all Javascript you can’t tell what’s going on, the page just seems to time out or freeze up, I’m not sure which? I found the Google AdWords interface, for all intents and purposes, unusable.
All I can say is I’m frustrated and it makes me wonder whether Google has gotten to big for its breeches when it comes to delivering all of these cool new services.
Has Google Gotten Too Big For Its Breeches?
