I think the gold in this article is the authors view of what Google should have done. I agree with pretty much every point, Google by basically declaring Google+ as "their social push" and "facebook killer", they already had their head in the noose. Articles about disgruntled Google employees help in no part to fuel a new found disrespect for Google which I have noticed emerging rapidly recently. I love the authors thoughts on what Google should have done, and I would like to see similar service released by a third party vendor, a simple browser plugin or even a bookmarklet. Does a simple "I like this" call to a server, which correlates all your personal likes. Its been done, and done to death, but I want it to be done better. One of my favourite things on the internet at the moment is the like button on youtube, it is my new way of sharing music with my friends. But already I feel the need to do certain things with my likes. Tag them, write tiny comments about something my friend have liked. A lot of buzz around pinterest recently, and perhaps this is why.
