I am migrating my mail email to something other than gmail. End of story. Rod Segovia, TX, , , Feb You suck, Google! Trying to Scroogle us! Richard Clifford, MA, , , Feb Please please, stop this.. Google if you dont stop this, i will use outlook. Nick Koletis, Greece, , , Feb Im working on replacing all google services and Apps that I use untill they change there privacy policies.
I am upgrading my computer and was thinking of using Chrome but now I am considering deleting my Google accounts. By the way, this is a good time to mention that any spelling or grammatical errors are shown exactly as they were on the petition. Many people seemed to view that privately-run email providers were somehow equal to government-run postal services, which typically are prevented from opening mail except in some limited circumstances.
Some comments:. I demand that google cease and desist this abhorrent practice immediatly. Cyril Handal, VA, , , Feb I am highly disappointed, and once able, will convert all email to Outlook. Email should be as private as content sent through USPS.
Does this mean our conversations through Google Voice are being listened to as well? Janel Heflin, FL, , , Feb What is the difference, Google? In fact I would have them arrested. Jem Gee, CA, , Feb Email should have the same privacy as Postal Mail. Stop ransacking our mail just to sell ads. That is not right and just not ok. No one can read my physical mail that is against the law why should they be able to read my mail.
There were also comments from some who believe that a right to private email is somehow enshrined in the US Constitution. A sampling:. This is an outrage! SO please stop! Roni Spencer, PA, , , Feb Keep your nose out of my private affairs. I can pull a lot of people away from Google!
Go to Jail All the officers at google read the Constitution of the United States and the articles of confederation. Brian Ferguson, IL, , , Feb Privacy right is a freedom of being American. Williams says that this type of negative campaign is nothing new; for example, battery makers Duracell and Energizer have run similar ads for years, as have beer companies. Progresso fought back, and eventually the antagonism between the two companies escalated to the point where both took claims against the other to the Better Business Bureau.
The campaigns ended up having an unintended consequence that serves as a note of caution should the Microsoft-Google battle escalate further. It is tricky as you want to raise awareness and do it in a fun way. I think we achieved that goal, and changed some policies, and we are now done with the campaign. Mostly I feel proud that we decided to do it regardless of how we might be perceived. When I asked Microsoft if the Scroogled campaign is, indeed, over and when the decision was made to pull the plug, a company spokesperson sent me the following statement:.
There are times when we use our marketing to highlight differences in how we see the world compared to competitors, and the Scroogled campaign is an example of this.
Moving forward, we will continue to use all the right approaches and tactics when and where they make sense. To me, that statement doesn't completely close the door on Scroogled, but also doesn't outright deny that it's dead.
It's worth noting a few things here. First, Connell is not some random, low-level figure. Connell's Bing Experience team focuses on design, the Bing. Connell is not a marketing guy, however. I'd expect Microsoft to continue to go on the offensive and defensive against Google. Finally, Penn no longer controls Microsoft's advertising budget , after the most recent reorg.
I've changed the way I charge my iPhone. You should, too.
