And what the hell is ‘unwired-ecademy’?
I deleted my Ecademy account about two months ago since I wasn’t using it and didn’t really like the way Ecademy was developing.
First thing I noticed when I came to close it down was… that I couldn’t. No instructions anywhere. I emailed a couple of times to Ecademy tech support, but got no answer.
I blogged a couple of times; nobody picked it up.
Finally, I found a link (via an angry ex-Ecademist’s blog) to an option that seemed to offer the possibility of deleting my account.
Amusing, then to see this strange Ecademy listing (above) appear at #1 in Google for a search on my own name just now. It leads to this page.
Firstly what the hell is ‘unwired-Ecademy’?? Secondly, why is it connected with my name? And why does my name keep turning up in Ecademy’s foreign databases? Seems to me that they’re holding on to my information. What else am I supposed to think? Surely the Spiders From Google would have updated the indexes by now if I had successfully deleted my details from their system?
Worse, I just discovered something else. I’ve created an Ecademy account for a client and have just noticed that I can’t log out from my client’s account. For some reason, Firefox (or Ecademy) just won’t let me.
What is going on here? And what exactly is ‘unwired-ecademy’?
No – Iain, there IS no post to read, that’s the point. And no account either.
The question is: how come I’m still coming up at the top of Google for a (supposedly) non-existent account?
Nice one Sam except you have to log on too eacademy to read the post!
Not your aim I imagine.
