  • I think the general rule is anything google acquired was good and anything they built themselves was bad and ended up getting killed.

    There are exceptions but some of the only decent parts of google; maps, YouTube, AdWords were all acquisitions. I think they even just got HTC to build the pixel exclusively for them











  • Salesforce Marketing Cloud.

    It was bad at my old job but I thought I figured out a good workflow. Then I switched to my current role thinking they would use it better, it’s just introduced new problems for me.

    There’s all the regular jank of Marketing Cloud that comes from a bunch of poorly integrated acquisitions. But the worst part for me is trying to pass data from Marketing Cloud to Salesforce.

    Data just doesn’t go through if it doesn’t match perfectly. And neither program tells you because it’s between systems.

    You can fulfil all of Marketing Cloud’s requirements, but nothing will happen if things don’t match up on the Salesforce end.

    Testing a recent campaign was so stressful I’ve updated my resume and jumped back on the job sites
