"Vic Gundotra, who is in charge of Google+, says he sees little in-house controversy today. "There was more resistance two years ago," when the project wasn't well understood internally, he says."
This is absolute bullshit.
As I've mentioned before, I quit about 1.5 years ago, around the time the G+ fiasco was starting (and partially for that reason.) I also know, directly or indirectly, dozens of people who still work there. I can tell you that, if the internal complaints have died down, it's only because of the pervasive feeling of futility about it within the company. The engineers are most probably still not happy about the creeping Social-ificiation of everything, and they're not going to be happy, but they're also well aware that the company does not give two shits about their feelings on the subject.
