Google+ maker Vic Gundotra: My work on this 'NETWORK THINGY' is DONE Now that Google's "network thingy" is melded into the web giant's product line-up, the man behind Google+ Vic Gundotra has quit Mountain View to pursue a yet-to-be-revealed new venture. Arguably, his work is largely done at Google, a company that has routinely shied away from describing Google+ as a social network. In 2012, …
"We’ll continue working hard to build great new experiences for the ever increasing number of Google+ fans."
And as Google+ extends its reach into different Google services, so my participation in those services decreases. I'm basically down to my email address now which ironically has my real name as a the user part of the address.
Read the amanda blain below & thought seeing I already have the account (was forced to create one with when setting up a nexus7) I thought I would see what the fuss was about.
Initial thought elicited a NSFW comment . Poked around for 30 minutes & still an anagram for "this". Lots of narcissists trying to look profound.
Then I was reminded of the Vincent Flanders (web pages that suck) rule - "if a man from mars can't work out your site within 4 seconds you are doing it wrong" so I probably spent 29 minutes & 56 seconds too long in it.
Honestly I am thinking about rooting the device so that I can get get rid of the googly goodness" like g+, gmail, people, play..,. drive, currents (what the hell is that ?) (and the added benefit of being able to plug in otg usb storage :-)
We have another winner.

Got a G+ Account, but never used it, knows very little about it, but not letting that get in the way of jumping on the bandwagon.
Some people that are so keen to write about things they know little about, really need to take a moment, unboard the bandwagon at the next stop, and have a read of that article link above. By not doing so, they are all making themselves look like fools.
Let me ask you a question, AC.
If G+ is so popular and such a big winner on absolutely every front and is the future - I regret it, but I read the hilarious puff-piece article you linked. Does she also recommend buying Blackberry shares? - then how come all these reporters who are getting it wrong aren't already using it all the time? How come it's not their major source of cat videos?
How come nobody except about 83 nerds gives a flying fuck about Google+?
