I find the assertion that you know "what Google+ is and isn't" myopic and naive.
- superuser2 15y agoGoogle's enforcement of real names on Google+ clearly establishes the service as an extension of real identities. I've seen no basis for much of the HN community's assertion that Google+ should be a venue for secondary personas. There is absolutely a reason these venues should exist, but not that Google+ needs to be one of them. I find the outrage at Google's decision unwarranted.
- homosaur 15y agoOkay, then don't worry about it and stop posting defending them. I find the outrage warranted. It's a personal thing and a lot of folks on G+ and on here just want to be the loudest about it.
- sp332 15y agoGoogle explicitly says that they're not accepting companies or groups yet. They even ask users not to sign up as a couple sharing and account. I'm sure it'll happen eventually, but for now, "what Google+ is" is pretty narrowly defined.
