This Is Discrimination, Part Two


Hello T,

Thank you for your interest in Google AdSense. Unfortunately, afterreviewing your application, we're unable to accept you into Google AdSense at this time. We did not approve your application for the reasons listed below.

Issues: Account information incorrect or not provided

Further detail: Account information incorrect or not provided: We've found that the account information provided in your application is incomplete or incorrect. Individual applications require the full name of the individual responsible for the account in the 'Your Name' field.

In other words, "our hi-tech interface can't warn you that using your one-letter-long given name may cause our system to reject you, so you lose a few business days resubmitting."

Other searchy stuff:

John Battelle improves upon TIME Magazine's online search article. By adding something called "hyper-links" to it. Ribbing aside, the TIME piece really captures why this is exciting.

Google's battle with the concept of copyright slowly heats up.

And finally, Yahoo Mail strikes back against Gmail.

Comments:
Makes you wonder if Mr. T ever has this problem.

"I PITY the search engine!"
