Googleのせいで頭痛がひどいって
検索エンジンマーケティング業界の人が、「Adwordsにログインするたびになにかが変わってて、新機能やツールのリリースに合わせて使い方をガイドするこっちは頭が痛いよ！がんばるから頭痛薬でも送ってくれ！」ってな感じに対して、
Googleの中の人が、「数日前に先進的な(?)記事を見つけたよ、ほんとに頭痛薬送ってみたらおもしろいかな」
手紙「この薬を飲んで、Adwordsの変化についてこれることを願ってるよ。PS.Inside Adwords Blogは読んでるよね？」
っていう話。
Dear Google, You're Giving Me A Headache
My head hurts. Almost everytime I log into an adwords account something has changed.
O.K. "Googler's," I will try to keep up with your changes and try to help others use your new features, tools, and formats through articles and step by step guides, but I want some acetaminophen. Please send it to ...
A few days ago, I came across a pretty untraditional note, and I thought, hey… wouldn’t it be kinda funny if I actually went ahead and mailed Al a Tylenol packet? So I did. I figured he’d get a chuckle, maybe share it with some friends or even post a quick update on his blog.
I went to my desk and found an envelope from Google. I opened the envelope and a small pack of acetaminophen fell out. The hand written letter said:Dear Al,
I hope this helps you keep up with the many Adwords changes.
PS – You are reading the Inside Adwords Blog, right?
Google continues to amaze me. Even though they are a huge company, they obviously found my article on Marketing Pilgrim, got some acetaminophen, wrote a letter, and mailed it to me. This may not have taken much of their time, but I am sure it is the small things, like this, that make their employees love working there.
社員に対する信頼なのか、頭の柔らかい組織なのか、いずれにしても非凡ですね。
ただ、今のGoogleだからこそこういうねたは肯定的に捉えられていますが、、、と否定的な意見も述べたくなるのはひねくれ性かもしれません。
