I don't care if it's true or not, I want to believe. No need to rain on my parade.
But most importantly, does the blog author work at Google, or has connections that are more reliable than the ones Techcrunch has? I feel like this is pretty important to know in regards to who I should believe.
- leorocky 13y agoIt's a badly written article by someone who has no additional information. I have no idea how it got to the top of HN but I wouldn't be worried. I'm pretty sure Google+ is dead now in the way that Google Reader was dead for years before they finally shut it down.
- minimaxir 13y agoArticles which portray TechCrunch in a negative light tend to get lots of upvotes. Hacker News really, really doesn't like TC for some reason.

- 001sky 13y agoIt’s one of the best places to find information on startups we haven’t heard about yet. And, better, the community is jerk-free. Comments are mostly helpful, thoughtful and interesting. Ah, dont forget to label this (2008) ;D
- MattCruikshank 13y agoI used to work at Google, as stated in the last line of the article. I'm not getting any information from Googlers that isn't publicly visible.
