If Google just wanted me to add a few relevant details to my primary account for some obvious useful purpose, details that would be kept private, I would happily oblige. However, this goes beyond that: Google is asking me to share information with no apparent application use (birth date?! gender???) to ANYONE who stumbles upon my G+ profile. I am not against unifying their services - in fact, this is what Google's basic authentication service should and could have done - but that is not the full extent of what is happening here, as far as I can tell.
- tekacs 13y agoYou don't actually have to share those details publicly if you don't want, to be fair. :/ Edit: for comparison and openness's sake, my profile: https://plus.google.com/116103902550362700148/about https://plus.google.com/116103902550362700148/about I have few qualms about sharing that, given that I know exactly what I've shared from there.
- dannyr 13y agoDude, I don't think you can convince him with facts.
- login1234 13y agoDude, maybe people do not want to provide that info to anyone.
- svitcov 13y agoThanks - I wasn't award that I could hide the info (it certainly wasn't made obvious by the dialog). I still think that forcing me to fumble around in G+'s settings to do this is unnecessary (although I can see why Google is doing this!).
- adityarajbhatt 13y agoWow, Cambridge! And yes, the profile privacy options are extensive and are painless to setup. I fully suppport the single-sign on.
