I never understood why they went for the Facebook killer when they could've easily built a LinkedIn killer instead.
LinkedIn is AWFUL. It's a giant spam factory with shit features, but I actually like a lot of their employees other projects....
Anyway, Google should have users upload their resume to Google +, and then have it be indexable and searchable through the Google front-end search. It's a natural extension of the "share with Circles" concept.
- dm2 13y agoI agree completely about how sketchy LinkedIn seems. It feels like every action I do on LinkedIn is tracked and available for purchase. Then there was their, "send all of your email through our servers" app. A Google Professional/LinkedIn competitor would have been perfect for Google+. I would also be more willing to share with my friends and family on a site like that, so it would be a perfect LinkedIn/Facebook killer at the same time. Google+ just focused too much on sharing with friends/the world type site at a time when people are getting more cautious about sharing online and things being public. I do want a service very similar to LinkedIn but more trusted and less weird stats/data-mining, Google would be a good company to make that happen, but Google+ would need a major overhaul. (I know Google tracks everything too, but the whole "pay X dollars to see who viewed your profile" is when I made my decision to not support LinkedIn.
