That's a little dramatic, don't you think? How many times in the past year has your your survival been on the line? And how many times in the past 24 hours have your social skills played a part in your day? G+ was a mismanagement of an idea. Most everything that Google plus had as an advantage over Facebook it stole from D*... which was never designed to be monetized. So Google took that privacy-centric framework and forced it to fit their "we track you everywhere all the time in all things" business model. What was left was something more confusing than facebook with none of your friends on it. mk, forwardslash - we need a better symbol than the plus sign for bold. I appreciate the new markup over the old markup but every time I use a symbol I shout at somebody.In this day and age, the two are intertwined.
