I find it curious that you automatically assume that Randall's post was the driving force. This is a piece of feedback that many users were submitting since the day G+ opened up. It's certainly possible that Randall was the influence that convinced Google, but I'd like to think that the feedback of the many would have weighed in more important than the post of a dude people have heard of.
- redthrowaway 15y agoI'm thinking much of the feedback came as a result of his post, not that Google saw he made a post and leapt to do his bidding. It was more a comment on the power of popularity, even online, than about his personal connections or ability to influence decisions.
- masterzora 15y agoI know, I know, anecdata yada yada, but I know a significant portion of my circles had submitted such feedback before Randall ever wrote that post. I'd be interested in knowing what the numbers were pre- and post-Randall.
