Google+ seems to have been adopted by a lot of major players in the tech industry. Quite a few notable people post on it pretty regularly, possibly because it's hard to effectively tweet about technology issues in 140 characters.
I'd probably switch to it exclusively too if I could use it to export to Twitter and Facebook.
- duaneb 14y agoWhat's the point of exporting it to twitter/facebook?
- eclark 14y agoLots of people who are not early adopters are still on FB and won't move for quite a while.
- AndrewDucker 14y agoYou don't need to move. You can got to _two_ websites.
- desas 14y agoAnd read the same things twice?
- kristianc 14y ago>> When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. E.g. "That is an idiotic thing to say; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

- aptwebapps 14y agoI've never seen him post here. Does he have an account?
- batista 14y agoThis assumes that the "That is an idiotic thing to say;" is unimportant. On the contrary. 1) It gives a lot of pleasure to respond with it to idiotic ideas. 2) It adds emphasis and a sense of proportions to the error, ie. it's not just a simple mistake, it is an idiotic mistake. 3) It (hopefully) shames the perpetrator of the idiotic idea into thinking twice before speaking. It's not always appropriate, but a lot of times it is just the thing.
- SkyMarshal 14y agoLinus also works at Google. I suspect he'd probably still be exclusive to lkml otherwise.
- jemfinch 14y agoNo, he doesn't.
- irahul 14y ago> Linus also works at Google Linus works at Google?
- kinlan 14y agoNo he doesn't
- SkyMarshal 14y agoOops, must have seen him at a tech talk or something and didn't realize he was a guest.
