Why You Shouldn't Write Off Google+ Just Yet 286
TheNextCorner writes "Cmdr Taco writes for The Washington Post on why you shouldn't write off Google+ just yet: "Google+ is technically better than its rivals in a number of key ways. The user interface is comfortable and friendly. It's easy to maintain circles of contacts, and to segregate what you share with each group. Discussions of small-to-medium sizes are manageable and readable — even in real time. Facebook wins when it comes to the open graph and app ecosystem, but a lot of people don't care about that stuff.""

Well, I've known since "Wargames" that any teenager with an acoustic coupler modem could hack into a government super-computer. The password is the programmer's kid's name, for chrissakes.
Yes, you were delusional if you thought that stuff that you made digital and put on a network was somehow "safe". Somehow, eventually, it's going to make it to the public. Ask any teenage starlet who send nude pictures to her boyfriend's cellphone.
This is why my wife only lets me take her nude pictures with a poloroid. Man, I wish they'd fix the resolution on those things.

Maybe...all those things you just said?
