A very quiet AdCenter open sign up day

Well, I just went to login to AdCenter and noticed that there was a notice that today and tomorrow (until 6pm PST) are open signup days, where you can get an account without waiting for an invite They snuck this one up on me, I didn't hear a peep, and it wasn't on the blog. I know a few were still looking for accounts.

 

Still for advertisers; nothing for publishers yet.

 

I think you'll be waiting a while yet for publishers... after all, what good is a publisher program if there aren't enough ads in inventory for publishers to display

 

Do you mean YPN?

 

YPN definitely has the ad inventory

 

grrrrr!!!!

There not supporting the Mac IE browser any more, and they suggest we use Firefox...yet they don't support it!!!! grrr!!!!

For us Mac users, even with IE 5.2 for Mac...you get that error!!! Microsoft stinks!!!!

The 'More about system requirements' link doesn't even work!!!

Have any of you Mac users figured out a way to get in?!!

 

The only supported browser is IE6.

 

IE7 works too for me.

 

If you have not received an invitation to try MSN adCenter, please check back at a later time. MSN adCenter will be available for public use in the near future.

Bad Luck here

 

grrr!!!!

No *beep* Sherlock.

 

Can you just set your web browser to spoof the user agent as being IE6?

Here is a user agent switcher for Firefox, Flock, Mozilla and Seamonkey: http://chrispederick.com/work/useragentswitcher/

And yes, it support OS X.

 

Grapes are sour

 

It's more than the browser. It has to be a broken, virus/spyware infected Windows computer!! grrr!!!!!

 

That's also part of the user agent string.

 

Alternatively, Wal-Mart is selling refurbished IBM ThinkPad T22 14" Notebooks w/ 900 MHz Intel Pentium III Processors for only $468.

 

Ack!!! I downloaded a useragent changer Firefox entension, but now it looks like theres no place to sign-up right now to see if it'll work. grrr!!!!

 

And even when you do get to sign-up... you're doing business with Microsoft.

These are the type of folks who, after you shake their hands, you have to count your fingers.

 

Ack!!!! I just want to try them now cause with this being new, odds are the PPC cost might be lower than they'll be a year after starting this!!!!

 

At Mix06, the adCenter team said during their session that Mac support, IE7, and other browser support is a priority. Just not sure how long it will take for priority to become reality though.

 

Also, I noticed the last adCenter open signup by the notice on the adCenter login page, so if you are really eager, you can watch that page
