Welcome to the Google Embassy!

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

Ladies and Gentlemen, Madams and Monsieurs:

I have officially became a Google Amabassador!

(applause)

Yair At Google

Unfortunately although I’m an ambassador, I still can not get you a Visa to visit the GooglePlex, and I have nothing to do with Google’s foreign affairs…

However, there is one good thing you can get from my embassy: Google gave me a pack of 200 NIS vouchers for Google Adwords. So if you are new to Google Adwords, and thought about trying it, whether if you are a YBO Interactive customer, or not, I’ll be happy to get you one of those vouchers, just to try Google Adwords and see how powerfull this tool is.

This is how these vouchers look like:

Let me know if you need one.

undo it!

How many times did you regret clicking ’send’ when writing a new email? How many times did you think “If only I could stop this email before it leaves this building….”.

When I read that Google has added this feature to gmail, I checked the date to make sure it’s not April 1st, and it’s not.  The next thing I did is installing it, and tried it myself. It works like a charm.

Google proved again and again throughout the years, that they are the most creative thinking company on this planet. They keep solving problems that were always there but nobody thought these problems can be solved. They take nothing for granted. Nothing is impossible. Google is THE proof that inventive thinking can make the difference.

Google’s (In)Stability

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

How stable is Google?

Every now and then, we get the news that Gmail is down. I have personally felt only some of those outages, but the news is full of those stories.

And now, if you want to know exactly how stable Google is, here is the official answer.

Google has a site that shows the status of all Google apps in real time, with a few weeks history.

I have never seen a tier one company that is so open with this info. Usually companies keep their stability issues for themselves, hiding their downtime, hoping that nobody noticed.

Again, as said more than once, here is another proof that Google is different.
