Anyone know of a good alternative to google stalker? I really like having fast always on map location sharing with my wife.
I don't understand why google(+) is pushing for the real names integration so hard, they have the data already on the back end. I am unwilling to give up my public anonymity. This is just pushing me out of their ecosystem faster.
- CapitalistCartr 13y agoGoogle is doing what corporations do; they're re-thinking products, whether they need it or not. They're integrating products, to make it better for them. This is why overlooking companies doing questionable stuff is bad. "Oh, its Google; we love them." Ten years later, they've integrated everything into one massive system, you're required to use your real name, real phone number, and have location on all the time. ("Oh, no, you don't need that turned on, but most featured won't work without it.") And because they under-price everyone else, or use their market position to run them off, there is a desert of alternatives. P. S. I'm not picking on merely Google; this is reality of Corporate America.
