FFS Google
For those who don’t know, Google’s Gmail is a free non-invite thing now, great! However I had a few problems trying to get one with my Google account, for starters when I tried to sign up, somebody had already taken the name Dudibob
I was keen to find out how Gmail worked because everyone talks about it, but I’ve never been too bothered so I signed up with some daft ‘try these names’ name. it went thorugh, Gmail looks good from my 30 second play around but my surprise was when I went back to my Google personalised page… it wasn’t there anymore.
Not only had all my RSS feeds from various places gone, I noticed I was logged out, fair enough I thought, something must of logged me out. So I logged back in only to find out that the account doesn’t exist. Oh f#@k.
Now, if it was only my RSS feeds, that’d annoy me but it’s easily fixed, but the biggest kicker is when I realised that this account was linked to my Analytics accounts, my Google reader (I can’t remember half the stuff in there off the top of my head :() and my adwords master account thing which had my certificate for being Adwords qualified on it… I lost absolutely everything to do with the Google account
Not a happy bunny, anybody know how to fix this or have been hit my this?
