Google Ad Manager Updates

I just received an email that there are some Google Ad Manager updates.
Hi Ad Manager User,
In the coming weeks, we’ll be upgrading your Ad Manager account to a new web interface designed to make managing your inventory and ad operations faster and easier.
These upgrades, which include improvements to the Inventory and Admin tabs, as well as the creatives screens, are the first in a series of improvements that you can look forward to this year.
An overarching theme of the improvements we’re making is that the web interface will be much quicker and easier to navigate. This is thanks to the Google Web Toolkit – a Google technology that we’re rebuilding Ad Manager’s web interface on to take advantage of exciting new web-based technologies.
We hope you find that these improvements increase the efficiency of your day-to-day work and allow you to spend more time focusing on what you do best: producing great content.
If you have any additional questions, please visit the Ad Manager Help Center, or share any questions or comments you have about the changes in the Ad Manager Help Forum.
Thanks,
The Google Ad Manager Team
I’m going to call you out on this one Google.
“Hi Ad Manager User.” Really? REALLY? You couldn’t add just a little more effort and call me Jonathan or Mr. Dingman or “Google lover”? Anything other than “Ad Manager User” please. You’ve really blown it on this email.

Do you watch SNL? Was that a “REALLY?!? with Seth and Amy”?

Haha exactly!
I was so shocked that they would mail something out like this, making it so impersonal.
Can’t wait to see you in a couple weeks sis!

LOL, good point. Someone didn’t think to use any simple dynamic personalization in this email.
