Google + (hoopla over real names)

[jlb1705]

The Google+ app is now iPad compatible, but still not iPad-native.

Also, I'm liking G+ for its integration with Picasa Web Albums. That's been my cloud of choice for photos, and now it's even easier to share the stuff I want to share and keep private the stuff I want to keep private. Circles actually make the privacy settings for each individual album easier, yet more specific.

I am not really using it so far, but I do like being able to create circle names.

"People I give a damn about"

"People I need to hide things from"

"People who I have no idea who they are"

Etc.

Google's horrible new policy on using real names in Google+ effectively means that the service is now a danger to real people. You have to ask yourself why a company that pledged to not be evil would do this. More ?

So my name "BobRoss'sParoleOfficer" will be suspended?

I'm calling shenanigans.
