Look at the screenshot... it's not a required field. They're giving priority to those who have used Google Local. It may still be uncouth but the headline is baity. >But, Friedman made clear, "If you RSVP you will definitely get a spot." >He told The Appeal that an RSVP is necessary for security and catering reasons. "Everyone who goes needs a [security] badge to get in," he said. The space where the event is being held has a capacity of 200 people, he said. >It's worth nothing, however, that at the same event last year only 25 people showed up, reports the Weekly. etc.

Wrong and wrong. Google added it without the SFPD's knowledge: > None of the San Francisco city officials who organized the event, it seems, knew about the marketing language Google inserted on the RSVP page. > The officer spearheading the program, Matt Friedman also didn't know about the additional marketing language. And you are required to indicate whether or not you've reviewed 5 businesses on Google+ Local. The intention was clear: To coerce people into using Google+. I'm not sure why you're trying to justify it by arguing semantics.

  ... I quoted the article and made an observation about the screenshot. Nothing you wrote contradicts anything I wrote. "Wrong and wrong" yourself. The headline is absolutely false. I make no excuses for, as I said, the uncouth nature of this addition. It's a pretty stupid way to encourage G+ usage anyway. (25 people last year, pfft)
