G+_Ken H Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Dumb The Verge article doesn't understand anything about Google+. I'm glad that this blogger isn't on the G+ team. Best comment on this article IMO: "Their suggestions to fixing Google+ are to…wait for it….destroy almost everything unique about Google+. Yeah…that makes sense. /s" http://www.theverge.com/2014/10/8/6943319/how-to-improve-google-plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Paul Werner Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Yes but on the earlier versions of G+ the recents menu wouldn't split them so it was essentially just the G+ app. At least this is on Android, not sure about iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mike Trieu (MegasChara) Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Yeah, Casey Newton can fuck right off. I love Circles and it's a great way to filter the noise. I don't want my social networking platform dictating to me what I should see or who sees what I post. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Calvin H. Phillips III Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I only use G+ I've been Facebook free for over 2yrs now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Paul Werner Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Funny thing is I don't blog but I have more profile page views with way less flowers than Casey (not that that really matters IMO). Love my circles and been FB free since G+ started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Carlos Battousai Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 This made my brain hurt... and made me lost my reason. Ok wtf is up with this dumb ass mother fucker? No really, what's he on because I need to stay away from the embodiment of stupid pills. Kill circles? Umm NO! Circles have been the easiest way to sort people and brands. Yes Facebook has lost,but what a pain in the ass. List are easy on facebook if you do them from the start when you have almost no friends or likes,but people have been on Facebook for a good 2 years before list was a thing. The photo's app....... Yep clearly this blogger has never picked up a smart phone a day in his life. "Let your team build weird new stuff" That's something you say to everyone BUT Google. Who ever wrote this need to eat a sack of baby dicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Josh Frye Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 It is nothing but a click bait story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Thomas Hutchings Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Not to be a hater, but writer must be an iPhone user. The photos app is actually part of the google+ app (one apk for both). So on android it's one app technically but with two icons. iPhone of course would never allow an app to have two icons on the home screen. Getting photos on desktop can be a little annoying, before just bookmarking it anyway. Circles is just called groups on Facebook. Just far better presented and used, so clearly that should go right? Personally I love circles and I never have a problem remembering the "circle called family " is where my family are. Last point confuses me, isn't auto awesome and the stories a perfect example of the Google+ team doing new and cool things? But yes Google, please do more things like that, we surely won't complain. End rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Pradyumn Vij Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 You guys should stop reading the Verge, it became completely stupid a few months back, I removed them from all social media because every article was ill informed and flame bait.

G+_Paul Werner Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 There's been a few nice ones but it has been few and far between Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Pradyumn Vij Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Paul Werner unfortunately these were exceptions to the rule. When you mix in that every social media post was also inflammatory, it is not worth anyone's time. Everyone can get less biased journalism at multiple other sources.
