Thank you Google for screwing up my account with your greed

...The great thing about a move is, all of your articles will follow if you use the wordpress blogger importer (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/blogger-importer/) Hope i dont get into trouble for pasting a link here. I think it is usefull info and I do not benefit monitarily from this link. Hope this helps someone considering a move from blogger to wordpress.

@Cheryl, just remember, if they deleted your youtube channel, they can delete your blog. All they need is one person to complain that it is spam. I suspect that my competitors are the ones that kept complaining about mine, then one day it was Gone. Make sure to back up every single post and all your pertinant stuff from blogger if you insist on using them. I seriously recommend you get on wordpress. Your traffic and page rank will benefit from wordpress. My traffic and sales have tripled since i

@ Lauea this is the reason i tell people use Wordpress and have it hosted. Most of my clients have WP to make sure they do not hit this issue and providing they do not break the tos then they are safe and if they do break them they will be given the opportunity to sort it out

i'm the opposite cheryl i enjoy the freedom and ability of wordpress as for google they want total domination not just of the internet but the world hence the invasion of privacy and security risk street view poses and their use of trojans to track each users daily internet habits

I like Blogger I find it much easier to use than wordpress but Google is using the force people to sign up for a Google account to make us look bigger than we really are.

wow. Thanks for sharing this Cheryl. I am going to go and download all my videos again to my computer (its new so i dont have my videos saved). I recommend everyone to download realplayer to their computer and download all the videos they want to save. Google did the same thing to me with one of my blogger blogs. They just arbitrarily deleted it. No warning, no nothing. Just gone...with no way to retrieve any of my articles or posts! I now use wordpress. I also recommend moving your blog if you

It is true that when companies start they are all about their customers, and then after they become major companies and huge success, they tend to forget who were the ones that put them there. That has happened with almost every major company not just Google but DVD/Streaming companies too

What is truly funny is that the 'fix' is to sign out of your google account and sign in with your YouTube account which simply keeps saying "incorrect user name password"

...and eventually the "big lump under the carpet" begins to smell and, all of a sudden, management realizes that some people have not been doing their duties. Then what happens? Heads begin to roll and so much money is spent to clean up what just one person should have sorted out long ago. What happens to the customers? The stench (could be unsatisfactory service) keeps them away and finally takes them to the competitors where they find repose. Google, be careful. Don't mess with Cheryl!

Google has forgotten who made them that big..to a point. All the customer complaints about this are buried in the 'less useful' section of the Google forum and it is a significant number of complaints. Businesses need to understand that sweeping things under the rug just creates a big lump under the carpet.

don't you just love it when a business gets so big it's customers are just an after thought, Role on the customer rising up against such tyrants and returning to the smaller and more customer appreciative businesses
