When Google Owns You | chrisbrogan.com
They never said what this Nick Saber guy did to get himself locked out of his Google accounts. I would have expected him to chime in and say “well, if you don’t want this to happen to you, then don’t do X”. I have some guesses as to what X is. Likely, spamming for his business, Cross Tech Media, which even by the name, sounds a bit dubious to me, and the website (which has a quote from Chris Brogan, the guy who’s blogging about this whole incident). Anyway, I don’t have any sympathy for this guy. I bet he did something really nasty and isn’t coming clean with the whole story.
Suddenly, Nick can’t access his Gmail account, can’t open Google Talk our office IM app, can’t open Picasa where his family pictures are, can’t use his Google Docs, and oh by the way, he paid for additional storage. So, this is a paying customer with no access to the Google empire.
