Oi Google, don’t make me hate you!

Google are lovely.

I am a Google anorak.

I know that they get stuff out of me in return, but I love their services mainly because they are good and they are free.

I use their Google Apps for Domains, am a Chrome devotee, love Android and my phones integration to Google products, and they have saved my life with their free map and Streetview.

Yes, I use most of Google’s great products for free, for which I am very grateful.  And, yes I know I get aggregated and assessed in return, but I do feel that the Google Ads I occasionally see are ok, completely unobtrusive and far more acceptable by a factor of a Billion than the ads I have to see when watching commercial television.

However, as a user of Google Apps for Domains, I have always been a bit of a leper. I’ve never been completely compatible across all the Google platforms compared to somebody who just has a simple personal Google Account.

So, it was with some excitement that I learned that Google were ‘transitioning’ me to make me just like any normal Google Account holder.  Excellent I thought.

Ah.

Oh Google, I do love you, but please please please.  You locked me out of being able to update my blog via my primary account.  Now, I exist, but in a limbo that is nowhere to be seen!  Most of the other products ‘transitioned’ perfectly fine apart from Latitude upon which I am still a leper compared to some others, but I’m having to log-in to update my blog via a different account and then having to log-out and log-in to read my email and stuff.  It’s irritating.

Look, I don’t take it personally or anything, and I know it’s just one of those things, but please fix me and make me whole again.
