We are RECALCITRANT and troublemakers; stupid and uninformed. We obviously can't be trusted to make a sandwich, let alone anything more complex. It's no wonder people don't like us.<br /><br /> Google is, of course, much wiser than us and that we don't understand how reasonable their request is to take off all our clothes and bend over for a jellied probe only indicates how lost and dumb we are. Thank god Google told me this or I'd be going through life assuming I was at least as intelligent as a dog!<br /><br />And yes, @Gremil, this manipulation of +1 rankings is already a mushrooming business for the chinese ex-goldfarmers; use Google itself to find some companies that will guarantee you huge followings and blah blah by manipulating +1s for you...Miso Susanowahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14628657533849686313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590156455847470480.post-18089275600561608102011-07-26T14:16:46.104-07:002011-07-26T14:16:46.104-07:00@ Conan, that is exactly the question...who needs ...@ Conan, that is exactly the question...who needs 2 FB's.<br /><br />@Boudica....yes, thats like when we had bots in SL and LL claimed the 70k concurrent users.... it's all just smoke and mirrors.sororNishihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385408562954387986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590156455847470480.post-45879639024446026872011-07-26T11:55:56.577-07:002011-07-26T11:55:56.577-07:00Perhaps G+ actually thinks they're somehow imp...Perhaps G+ actually thinks they're somehow improving their product (we're the product, right?) And so close on the heels of the Facebook announcement of over 750,000 users. <br /><br />I find the Facebook claim absolutely hillarious as I know many many friends and family on facebook that have multiple accounts so they can PLAY FARMVILLE and get more people on their vampire, or super hero or other teams for games. My dad, my mother, many of her friends, sisters, cousins. They DO this. They have fake accounts to play these mindless games and go up in levels. I find it a terrible waste of time, the mindless click click clicking just to get a virtual carrot for a virtual horse or some other nonsense. <br /><br />I even personally know of people who use their dog or cat or children, even baby names as fake accounts for Farmville. If I know that many, I am sure that many others do too, and I think it would be really interesting to know the "true" user count on Facebook, though I am willing to bet even they don't know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590156455847470480.post-52320022862912669982011-07-26T11:49:16.519-07:002011-07-26T11:49:16.519-07:00I agree: Google has screwed up the launch of yet a...I agree: Google has screwed up the launch of yet another social platform. I had really hoped Google+ wouldn't be just another FaceBook without a care about online privacy. It has only been 24 hours, so I am still holding out a sliver of a thought that maybe I'll get unbanned, but at this rate, who really needs two FaceBooks?Conan776https://www.blogger.com/profile/00017422999431387978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590156455847470480.post-58772243961908881402011-07-26T10:46:56.399-07:002011-07-26T10:46:56.399-07:00@ Mera....yep, good luck to them.@ Mera....yep, good luck to them.sororNishihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385408562954387986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590156455847470480.post-36819364958538906082011-07-26T10:41:25.058-07:002011-07-26T10:41:25.058-07:00@Botgirl, you are probably correct.

Half the point of G+ is to manipulate search rankings with +1s; but we the suspended can't plus things up—it just won't take.<br /><br />As of now, I'm giving up on the whole matter.

I have a different take on large corporations than some of my more radical virtual friends. From my personal experience with many large organizations, I think that ineptitude, laziness and group-think is a much more likely cause of the policy, rather than some brilliantly devious ulterior motive.Botgirl Questihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01707252228872837054noreply@blogger.com
