Accounts, Google, & YouTube
Tonight I went on a binge changing my personal email address and passwords associated with the address I’ve had since 2003. I still have my professional address, but but changing the ID, a Spamified account is now tamer.
What I realized from all this is JUST how integrated my life has become with the Internet. How many companies, ammenities, opportunities, and ideas are tied to a screen? Its baffling.
Here’s to a simplified new existence online…if all goes well.
***UPDATE***
All is NOT going well. GoogleTube has screwed us!
My Google Account is my fresh new Gmail address, which I am happy to have. But in their infinite wisdom, they have linked a YouTube account to my name which I have logged into on occasion. Rather than a personal ID, it is actually one for my job I use to upload videos for my profession.
Lets say I leave my current job one day and really shouldn’t be uploading videos from this account anymore. The logical thing to do is sever the link and all is well.
Buuuuut no. Google has made the bond inseperable. And hundreds of YouTubers are furious in their forums. They have even covered up a few options users found along the way. WHYYYYYY?
Oh Google. Don’t be evil.
