AdCenter Bloopers!

Posted on 06 May 2006 by Lord Brar

Phew! Sometimes I wish there were 48 hours in a day… and today is one such day that I am really wishing there were 48 hours in a day. But, I really had to blog about something that has been amusing me since morning.

TBH I wanted to blog it on a new site I am starting but since I had to delay its launch by a week, here we go.

Seems like Microsoft made a few bloopers in the much-touted AdCenter that pushed MSFT’s stock price a bit up after the utterly disappointing numbers they posted.

So, what went wrong?

1. If Microsoft writes a software, how is it possible that there aren’t any bugs in it? Michael @ SEOG found a few. Take a look at the screenies he posted.

2. If you are not using the “security-holes infested” IE6 then MS doesn’t want you to use their AdCenter! Yeah, that’s what Darren found out when he tried to use FireFox while trying to access AdCenter.

Microsoft adCenter does not currently support the web browser you are using. Please sign in using Internet Explorer 6+. More about system requirements

Thankfully Scoble, Microsoft’s “Geek” Blogger, realizes that a high percentage of influentials are FireFox users and Microsofties should stop stooping so low that they don’t allow FF users to even look at their sites.

Hey Rob, ever heard the saying — old habits die hard! Geez, I don’t even need to explain what I mean.

So anyway, back to work I am.

This is a viral video from Youtube that is getting a lot of attention.

I will let the author set the scene:

It was back in Oct 2005.

My wedding was about a month to go and I decided to make a memorable event for my future wife. But, I and she were working and due to preparation of wedding, I didn’t have enough budgets for expensive proposal. While I was considering for the event, I remembered what she said in the past. “Wow it would be great if I can get a chance to go in the room with full of yellow post it just like Sang Sang Plus” (Sang Sang Plus is one of the famous talk show (TV program) in Korea and they prepare a room with full of yellow post it - questions from fans to famous celebrity)

I wrote all the happy memories that I had with my wife in 5,940 post it. It took me 4 days & 5 nights to write everything and post it in the bathroom. (I tried main living room first, but, due to surface of wallpaper, I had to change the place) Once we back from honeymoon, we took all the post it off and kept it in the box until now.
