Your experience may be different, but I welcome any confirmation from anyone using a tablet: I notice that when user signs up for a Gmail account on a tablet, after she completes all the required info, she is then presented with a "one-click" style sign up screen for Google+. This screen does not have a "No thank you" option. Nor is there a "Back to previous" link. There is nothing to indicate the new Gmail account has successfully been created. It is more or less a dead end. There are only two options: Sign up for Google+ by clicking a link or close the browser tab. How many users will know their Gmail account has successfully been created and close the tab? Closing the browser tab and then navigating to gmail.com will take the user to her new account. There is no need to sign up for a Google+ account. I have a difficult time believing this process of opening a new email account where seemingly "all roads lead to a Google+ account" is accidental. Then again, it could be. If not, then I'd say the G+ team is doing a fine job at manufacturing consent. The question is why do they need to do that? I thought Google was in good health. This just seems desperate and try hard.
