Default Beware of the Google Monster!

My good friends here at Tomatoville,
I was shocked last evening to see
all 19 of my videos on Google's You Tube Wiped out.

No explanation or e-mail communication

I have spent all night, now 5:24 AM, uploading
the tomato series to Yahoo Video.

Here is the link to the Play list if anyone wants
to continue to follow the series.

http://video.yahoo.com/playlist/100666701

I am really Happy with my Tomatoes.
Really upset and the lack of Good business
and customer service exhibited
by the Google Monster.

But for every set-back there is a Leap forward.
We love gardening. Been doing before
the Internet was even a thought.

It is just so much Fun to share.

Thank you all for your friendship

Hi Chuck,

I had subscribed to your videos on you tube. When I clicked on your user name in my subscriptions, it said, "this account is suspended." Maybe you could email them and ask why?

That is strange.

Edited to add... I quickly searched on youtube about suspended accounts. It says they suspend accounts that they think are for "commercial purposes". For example if the videos are embedded into a site that (they think) sole purpose is to generate ad revenue.

You can appeal to them to reinstate your account.

Jen

Default Thank you Jen.....

Yes I have contacted them.

They chances of even getting a response is Nill.

Google does not operate with people.
The are controlled with "robots"

I have established the series on Yahoo Video

More being added this morning

There are so many commercial Videos on You Tube it is ridiculous, plus pure filth.

I am really pleased with the Tomatoes this year, and look forward to sharing with everyone.

Thank you all for your patience

I have to admit, this really bothers me. I knew that the moment Google bought YouTube there were going to be problems. So much for "do no evil". I knew they censored material of a political nature, and they obviously eliminate stuff that exceeds their "filth" threshold, but come on!

Chuck, I know you've already gone to Yahoo. Good luck with that. I'll find a way to watch your videos. I promise.

The thing I can't handle is they will not share what a Violation was, I am clueless, so how can I know what Not to do that I did to Violate their standards.

Actually the Video quality is better on Yahoo

The whole system is Rift with blatant commercial advertising. My links sent people to Squidoo Lenses and Blogs which are primarily informative.

at my age and stage in life, I don't need to supplicate to a group of poorly educated ( in the area of Relationship marketing) effete snobs.

I have met some these "geniuses" on their Turf. A strange group of Humanity.

I thought it might be music, but the Music was non-royalty.

Oh well we will see what Yahoo does with this Gardening and Marketing
Bad Guy.



They better look out, I wil sic my neighbor on them

I am also posting on Revver.com ..... good quality also

Google works with the Chi-coms to block sites. They allow vile jihadist videos while deleting any that present the other side. They gather information on anyone using google. When I was interested in using their book advertising I read the small print carefully--they can give personal information to third parties in countries where privacy laws are not as stringent as ours.

Did you see their logo celebrating Memorial Day? Yeah, me neither. Yahoo had one but not Google.

These guys are not our pals. But unfortunately it's the best search engine and youtube is pretty great--I have 2 book trailers there now. Still I'm not that happy about it.

Chuck,

I'd recommend Vimeo.com

The quality there is the best, but there's a webspace limit.

Default Good Fortune ...or Magic?

Received an e-mail this morning
from a freind.

Surprise, surprise!

My Google YouTube account is re-instated.
No word from them at all.

Must have been the positive energy form all
my TOMATO friends

The good side, I know have the series
posted on 4 Media. 28 hours of Work.

But it is worth it.
Thank you all for your support
