Being on G+, one should keep an eye on this feature and its settings.

Great show after IO last week +Leo Laporte. IIRC, you were all pondering what kind of ads we were going to be seeing here. Here's one ad (or marketing post).

Unless I need it for Bus Dev, I think I'm done with G+, at least until things change. Catch you all in another lane...

Here's my rant to them:

G+,

If I'm not as famous and visible as Blake Ross and William Shatner, how will I get my account reinstated when you do to me what you did to them? How? Talk about a Data Liberation issue!

Oh yeah? …prove it: Give me back access to my GrandCentral/ Voice account you locked me out of two years ago (I've submitted 3 requests, none were processed by a human as far as I can tell).

How about your Chrome commercial where someone sets up an account for their child just before they're born? Cute, but... you suspended my son's when you found out I created it just before he was born.

The Google machine is the most beautiful ever created, but it runs over the little people withoutt... more »

This weekend was not fun, thanks to Google+ - but thank you to everyone that came out in support. It means more than you know.

I woke up Monday to still having an account and magically being verified, in one of the rockiest user experiences I've had of record.

I hope G+ gets better. I hope this doesn't happen to me again for other reasons. I'm still considering deleting this profile as a precautionary measure - I know a number of people that have.

Here's the story, and why I think Google is too big to be screwing around like this.

Love how Louis ends with "Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental."

BTW - I know the guy from whom the whole Louis shtick is copied: +John Craig

OK, maybe they're just both funny in the same ways. Still, John rocks.

#the5: To no one's surprise, Google Realtime Search will be returning, powered by... Google+. SEOs, take note: http://on.mash.to/pUGPBg

If you're not sharing your stuff along with other people's stuff in G+ now, you're not laying the foundation for realtime search and other SEO signals once this update happens.

No taxes, yes questionable wars, yes Medicare Rx drug benefits, and yes TARP. Unless you agree with that AS A PACKAGE, GOP shares blame.

If you just blame Obama, Bush, or any one party, your view is a major reason we're where we are today. I don't blame congress; I blame people like myself (who are not and will not be affiliated with these parties) for not being louder, more convincing, and more passionate.

IF you think a plan needs to be in place by Aug 2, support the Reid plan.

Try this today (Sunday 24 July): use Google Maps to view a city in New York state. Drag Peg Man onto the map. What's that he's got in his hands?

Radio Shack Ahem. The Shack going back to its roots? Promises to add a much wider DIY selection (Arduino, HAM radio). Should prove interesting as this community has long found other outlets for these resources (Adafruit).

I love that Arduino comes in as the number one request while Stronger Sales Force comes in at number ten. Nerds: just give us what we want and get out of the way.

Somehow I suspect +Brian Jepson is behind this.

People of Google+ : ignore this button. Ignore it. It does not exist. Don't look up there. Don't make it gray and zero. Leave it alone. Pretend it's not there. Don't "answer" it. It is not your keeper. It is not your master. It is a splotch of color. Don't touch it.

I was reading http://www.neowin.net/news/dropbox-legally-owns-all-of-your-files and thinking about how many false alarms I've seen where someone claims "Company X owns everything you do if you use their product."

Off-hand, I can remember:

- AOL IM: http://www.snopes.com/computer/internet/aim.asp
- Adobe: http://db.tidbits.com/article/9548
- Chrome: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/google-chrome-license-agreement/
- Quora: http://gigaom.com/2010/04/23/quora-now-owns-all-your-content/ and http://www.quora.com/Who-owns-the-copyright-on-content-contributed-to-Quora
- Twitpic: http://blog.twitpic.com/2011/05/your-content-your-copyrights/
- and now Dropbox.

Maybe it's because most legal documents like Terms of Service sound scary when you read them. Maybe companies don't pay enough attention to make this part of their ToS crystal clear.... more »
