Google to Drop Old Adsense Interface

The old adsense interface will be dropped soon. Yep that’s right, you will be shoved into the new one. Of course the new Adsense layout is quite informative and allows you to fine tune your Adsense ads, a little better. but the monitoring of page traffic is even less informative than the current, soon to be extinct page traffic.
You sure do get a whole lot more menus with the new Adsense user menu, but the question I have to ask is, why couldn’t they just ad the new to the old ? why drop what is existing and give us what is new and not have both? Just always seems fishy when we get shoved into acceptance like this. Somehow we just accept that things will never make sense and the lack of informative data replaced by bubbles and menus, is the rule of anything software.
Not saying I don’t like the new Adsense user interface, I don’t dislike it at all. Except for the traffic stats page just says “AdSense for Content” it does not show what ads, or where, while the old one already shows more information about site traffic, and well, that ones pretty slow too. but again, that traffic has to be verified and proven before it can count. And I completely get that. I think.

But . here’s the email I received today showing that the change is about to happen.

Hi,

Since releasing the new AdSense interface to all publishers, we’ve been continuously working to improve and support the new version. With that in mind, we’re writing to let you know that we’ll soon be retiring the old AdSense interface and asking all publishers to use the new interface.

If you haven’t already, we recommend switching to the new interface as soon as possible to familiarize yourself with the updated layout and new features. To do so, sign in and click the ‘Try the new AdSense interface’ link in the upper corner of your account. We understand that this adjustment may take some time, so you’ll still be able to toggle back and forth between the old and new interfaces during the coming weeks. You’ll see another notification in your account as we approach the date when this option will no longer be available.

As a reminder, the new AdSense interface offers additional insights in the form of detailed graphs and reports, new ad blocking controls, and increased efficiency through a visual redesign. We’ve now added many of your top-requested features — including the ability to create scheduled reports and view channels on the Home tab. We encourage you to watch our video tutorials at http://www.youtube.com/user/InsideAdSense#g/c/B067D355E59D96E0, which will guide you through completing common tasks in your account. You can also find detailed information in our Help Center for the new interface (http://www.google.com/adsense/support/as/).

With this transition, we’ll be able to focus on building new and improved features into the new interface more quickly. Thank you for your support, and we appreciate your patience and cooperation.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team

Okay, can we go ahead and add the affiliate market to the Adsense account? why do they have to be two separate sites?
When you finally make the move to the new interface, go to the allow & Block ads, that is probably the greatest thing since advertisements on websites, ever began.
I do have to say they held onto the old interface for quite a long time, and that is more than fair of Google.
Maybe someof the features of the old interface just aren’t compatible with the new.

2010 is gone Happy 2011

We said good bye to myspace we jumped to facebook, we opened our heads and hearts more to twitter. and we made the right choice (Myspace is slow as heck now).
Hopefully 2011 Gives us all just as much of a smooth transition to a better realm.
We saw Hulu Launch into a fizzle.
Though the Decade we saw Linux and Microsoft shake hands, we Saw Bill gates and Steve Jobs talk face to face.
We saw Blizzard games and Rockstar games launch into monsters (Rockstar has been sued so many times, we could lose them any day now). We saw activision actually create good games again (first decade since the 80s). We saw Video game consoles have motion sensing remotes, we saw Satellite radio come out with a huge launch and tons of hype and then admit defate and two seperate intities merged to salvage their existence I still only know a few people pay for radio $13 a month is stupid. We saw a president win an election with the assistance of Social media and social networking. We saw a movie called Social Network. We saw Kevin Rose and Leo Laoporte come from a near fatal ending as Video game Tv (g4) and TechTv Merged into G4tv and then become just g4 when it shook off everything tech and 90% of the video game. This left the Tech TV crowd searching for a new place, so they started podcasts and located Tech websites and the like who wanted to have their website mentioned on the podcast. We saw Kevin Rose (of revision 3) become a Goliath with digg.com and Diggnation. We saw 1000000000000001 clones of digg.com like the implementation of the digg button into Facebook. We saw Leo Laporte’s shows just chug along and gradually grow into the Entertainment network it is now at twit.tv. We saw computers make it into our phones. And that is a great move. We are all now a ton less social and have little things we plop into our ear to drown out the world and hold a conversation with someone who is not there . We can now have video chats on our cell phones.
We have seen a great things come this decade. We watched a few great Tech things go. I hope we are still motivated to make more for the next decade.
I hope you all have a good new year
Until 2011 techies, Happy New Year

Has Social Media Innovation Stopped?

Has the innovative race of creating the next useful social website come to a stop? why? and how long?
The last known Social site that has made an impact is over 4 years old. So there is no social site that has been invented or created, no idea has come to anyone’s creation table since 06. There have been evolutions and “reinventions” of websites, but nothing that can 100% be called creative or new. We have seen Social websites pop up that are clones of or hybrids of other websites, but that isn’t quite creation or new.
Twitter and Jaiku. That’s it. Jaiku is older than twitter. So Twitter it’s self is in theory a rip off of Jaiku. Before that was Joost. Joost of course came out with a messenger when it was first created. You would install Joost so you can watch movies on your computer, but there was also a movie voting system, along with the movie voting system there was also a messenger/chat system. So you could talk to other Joost users who are watching the same movie or tv show as what you are watching.
Today there is one. Only one social network out there that everyone still uses. That social network is the one that all tech people were certain would flop. Facebook. Facebook of course is the website that really wants you to only add people to your friends that you already know. Now that isn’t very social. Is it? It’s more of an address book. Some modifications to Facebook have allowed you to add more features and add more friends, and add annoying nagging video games.
We did see Myspace fall recently. We just saw Myspace build it’s self over again. But no one came to see the new place. The few that looked hated Myspace. because well, Myspace was over bloated.
Chatrooms are completely gone. Forums are all trolled up and spam flooded. Unless someone reinvented the chatroom, that venue seems to be dead.
Revision 3 needs what techtv had. A Live show that people could interact with. like Chris pirillo’s show. Live.Pirillo.com . That would save Revision3. Especially if they did this with diggnation. Maybe once or twice a month
Is communication dying?
If anyone knows of a new social network that seems to be ground breaking or potentially ground breaking, tell people about it. Post it here. I would love to try this social network/ social media.

Mashable Poll Does Not add Up

On the Mashable website reading the poll results for Mashable’s poll on New digg Verses old digg.

A few things just don’t add up,

Mashable Poll

Stare closely When you see it. Keep looking there is more.

They say that old Digg won, but it shows old Digg got only 4 votes but is 78% of the poll.
IMHO, They don’t like Digg’s ability to steal traffic, or the traffic Digg stole a while back..

Why do I say this?
because if you tilt your head to the right.

The poll looks like they are flipping an FU bird.
