As a daily user of G+, this is great news! I am so tired of micromanaging characters on Twitter. I just want to express an idea sometimes without using extra CPU cycles. I only have so many of those available each day and I don't want to use them on Twitter.
It just needs more users. It is great to follow developers on.

- ElijahLynn 10y agoArgh, HN totally didn't honor my line breaks on this one and I have no way of editing it now. The anti-procrastination setting was successful in locking me out after I posted it. I came back now to edit it and it is too late.
- ElijahLynn 10y agoMod, if you are reading this, could you please edit my post and fix the line breaks?
- intoverflow2 10y agoMostly people who work at Google then?
- ElijahLynn 10y agoQuite a few for sure. But does that matter? They are engineers, designers and developers. They post interesting things and if you want to give G+ a try then you might be interested in checking some of them out.
