Google Google Oh Sweet Google Why Do You Hate Me So

As I type out this random blog post I am banned from searching Google yet again after only executing 2 searches this morning. One was for a phone number to a business in Florida and the other was to find a SSH FTP Application for a client that’s easy to use.

But after that I get the famous “you must be a computer sending automated requests”. Now if I’m not mistaken Google is a search engine correct; or am I mistaken after all these years? The object is to type in queries in order to find information; or at least I thought that’s what Google was for.

I did a bit of research thanks to Bing.com allowing me to search the web with their search engine, which I must add is really nice. I don’t know if it’s just how it looks or the fact that it freaking let me search the INTERNET. Either way I am thankful and wanted to acknowledge a working search engine. The research showed that I am one of 10′s of thousands with the same problem. Go figure.

I fully understand the purpose of what Google is doing, I really do, but I am not automated in any way and therefor can not agree with this search engine giants decision to ban me. I could under stand if I was typing in raw machine code or etc, but I’m not. I am merely looking up sites, applications, phone numbers, and restaurants. How can that be offensive to Google?

Anyways It’s time for me to get back to work so I’m cutting this rant short. Reply with your comments if you’ve had the same issues.

Google Voice Anyone?

So yesterday before heading out into the freezing cold here I received an email from Google stating I had been accepted in to their Google Voice Beta program. I signed up for this around a month ago and had forgotten all about it until now. After accepting I did some reading up on it and really liked what I was seeing. Just last night I was logged into the Verizon site looking for a way to remove my Voice Mail feature I purchased with my new Droid. I gave the application a 5 star because it was simple and worked but after having it for a month I ran into a few issues such as it telling me I had voice mail when I didn’t or saying that it couldn’t connect.

So now I’m using Google Voice and love it 10x more. What is Google Voice you might ask? It’s a one stop shop for all your telephone numbers, custom greetings depending on who’s calling you, free SMS and low international calling. Basically they give you a new one-4-all telephone number and if you have a office phone, cell phone and home phone, you can have them ring at any of the three places, no places or all places. This is great for when you’re on vacation or you need to make sure that important business call doesn’t get missed. The only downside is you have to give them your new number. Your old numbers still work the same. Google does however let you customize your number based on numbers available. So I made one that ended in NEK-KIDT for my t-shirt company.

Ever been in the situation where you were headed out with friends or a client to lunch but just couldn’t because of an important call you were waiting on at the office or house? No problem, just tell your house phone to ring your cell phone!

Another great feature that really sold me was being able to have custom greetings for each person that calls and there is another feature to block unwanted callers!

If I get some invites such as I did with Google Talk I will give them away here. So check back often.
