Well, I might as well say it:
Jul. 30th, 2011 10:11 amGoogle+ is boring.
Yep, I know, but there it is.
They are also entirely stupid about the "real name" shit, and now they are insisting that profiles be public, which is another stupid piece of stupid. I'm entirely not impressed with any of the random account deleting, either.
So, there is all this questionable shit, and as a platform, it is booooooooooring. Boring. Dull, dull, dull.
I dunno. It wants to be FB and it wants to be LJ and it has all of the things that annoy me about both. I am grateful to it for stirring things up so that I am now connected with people I had lost connection with at afp, but ... dull.

I mean, if they want to be a professional platform, and hence the insistance on legal names and public profiles - there are already platforms that do that: LINKEDIN.
I dunno - I don't have a sense of what Google+ wants to be when it grows up.
