You Tube, etc: Don't put all your eggs in one basket
OK, not too big a problem. Within a day I had verified and got my account back online. However, try watching any of my videos on the KevinRiley account at YouTube and you'll see "This video has been removed due to terms of use violation." Lovely! Seems the account got wiped out and my request to Google has so far been ignored, lost, or shuffled off to oblivion.
Does this affect my business? I'm sure there are some lost sales, and it affect a few streams of opt-ins, but overall ... not really. It's an annoyance, and a loss of some pretty cool videos I've done over the years, but since my business doesn't rely on this one source, it's not affecting my business adversely.
MORAL: Do not put all your eggs in one basket. Do not rely on one property which you have no control over - YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, Squidoo, etc.
