Google with (blank) on its face
I was searching to see if Blogger allowed the inclusion of foreign language symbols, and ran across a poor woman's cry for help from today. Someone has hijacked her Blog on Blogger which Google owns, and is pushing triple X porn on thru as a instantaneous redirect....She has deleted the blog thru the owners user-interface, didn't stop it. And she doesn't know how to do the things that would get her some instant attention and help. I put a reply in her forum discourse and gave her the scoop on a lot of the places where Google employees would see it or catch wind of it and probably shift the info over to the right dept and the thing would stop on the spot , or it would become good news fodder and a lot of people would be hearing about it and it would stop for damn sure. The ball is in her court to get in touch w/ these sources, I can't do all the work for her...but it will be interesting to see what happens........Google with egg on its face is what we have now.

Update: Google fixed the problem, I did not realize that she might have moved her content before the re-direct problem occured--she didn't say--I assumed, she moved it after--which changes everything.....but at any rate, the Blogger URL is now pointing to her new one.
I am reading her most recent posts, she just doesn't 'get it' she says 'why should she have to change the world' , she doesn't, I tell her, look, you got taken advantage of and it is a hassle for you, but on the up-side you are in a position to make some money while this mess is straightened out, lets see if she does. Am I smarter than these people or is my mentality just so different or what? I mean, like she has a golden opportunity, if she plays it right, but looks like she doesn't have a clue. I think I have been reading web marketing blogs (and Y,M,G insider blogs & conferences ) for so long and that has altered my web mentality totally from the average web user.
"The Web" is a different thing to everyone....it is the Wild, Wild West to Me. I am Artemus Gordon--brilliant gadgeteer :o)
And in that category, in an Adsense survey sent to 'select members' yesterday, the only forum mentioned by name in this very long and detailed survey was WebmasterWorld. I bet that had Danny Sullivan's attention and SES 's ! Esp since SES is a much bigger conference if measured by numbers of attendees. And I am sure that Brett was walking around feeling quite proud. It is time for me to pay up for another year's membership---just so happens.
