Google's Adwords can't tell time or spell...
I just went to drop a few bid cause it seems they are not working well over the weekend and I found this message,
"The AdWords account interface is temporarily unavailable due to system maintenance. AdWords is expected to be down from approximately 6:00 PM until 10:00 PM PST [?] on November 10, 2007. Please note that your campaigns will be running normally during this short period of downtime, which only affects your account management pages. We apologise for any inconvenience."
ITS 3:40 EST TIME! WHAT THE HECK???
You would think with all the money they make adwords would be able to afford some clocks in the office.
I am excited to see what changes we are going to see when it launches again... Also, is it just me or did they spell "apologize" wrong? I never claimed to be the best speller but isn't spelled with a "z"?

apologise is how it is spelt in the UK
Americans are generally not familiar with British spelling unless they have British friends or clients. American spellcheckers regularly complain about accepted alternate spellings - but then what can we expect from computer related spellchecking dictionaries that don't include common online terms.
I predict we can count on Google's system staying difficult to use and frequently down. The more challenging it is to check your results and work in the account the longer they can keep their profits going.
