If a such a highly publicized Google product is only used by "several friends" years after launch, it should be killed--not spammed more into the faces of users

If a such a highly publicized Google product is only used by "several friends" years after launch, it should be killed--not spammed more into the faces of users that do not want it.
- BitMastro 13y agoLike Google Reader? /ducks
- badclient 13y agoEven then, I bet Google Reader had a higher happy user to pissed user ratio than Google+.
- bsullivan01 13y agoYeah, Google was pushing Reader on every opportunity they could and still was a wasteland.
- baddox 13y agoThe "several friends" I contact through Google+ are actual friends that I actually contact routinely, unlike the vast majority of the 200 or so friends I have on Facebook. Maybe I'm just unpopular, but I don't have more than a dozen actual close friends that I communicate with routinely.
- pjbrunet 13y agoMaybe he's talking about the ads, not plus. If the recommendations are just for people in your "friends" circle this recommendation engine has minimal impact. And just because I circle some people in Plus doesn't mean I want to see their recommendations.
- badclient 13y agoYou're not required to have 200 friends on fb. Just unfriend the not so real friends. You could have not do real friends on google+ too if you chose. Most my close friends are not on google+.
- baddox 13y agoI have my Facebook settings fairly well customized so that I only see updates from my closer friends. My point was that "several friends" is not a meaninglessly small number for a social network.
- wyclif 13y agoSounds like bias by anecdote to me. Google+ is a quite well thought-out and executed social network, especially compared to Facebook.
