I just realized that Linus' posts are the only reason I ever go to Google Plus.
- unsigner 13y agoLinus : G+ :: notch : Java
- xentronium 13y agoThat's unfair. Lots of infrastructural projects are done in java. E.g. my personal favorite: lucene (+ solr, elasticsearch).
- unsigner 13y agoYeah, and I hear some communities (photographers?) have taken G+ as their home. It was tongue-in-cheek and purely from my (PC, desktop, Windows/console game developer) perspective.
- jan_g 13y agoFor me it's not just G+, but also Facebook and Twitter. Only reason I ever visit those sites is indirectly through HN posts and similar.
- cbsmith 13y agoThe question nobody is asking, but actually should is: I wonder what other good G+ content you are missing? G+ is largely misunderstood. It is a lousy tool for interaction with people connected to you purely socially. It's a very good way to find and interact with people connected to you by interest.
- ChikkaChiChi 13y agoThis is exactly how I explain Google+ to folks. It's built for communities, not cliques.
- icefox 13y agoThe really sad thing is that I have tried several times to search for content that I know exists on G+, but I can't find it, even when I knew the author. After the third time failing at this my usage of G+ dropped significantly. Of all of the things that you would think would work search would be at the top... :|
- tmzt 13y agoRight, if I could subscribe to a Circle with all of the kernel devs in it I would. G+ is actually a great place to read long form messages and comments, but doesn't really have content discovery down.
- npsimons 13y agoI know this is completely off-topic, and I'll happily be downvoted for it, but why in the world does Google+ capture keyboard shortcuts that are already bound to other well known browser functions? (C-PgUp, C-PgDn, C-w, etc).
- kurrent 13y agoI wonder if Linus ever reads Hacker News.....
