Google Engineer: 'Google+ is a Prime Example of Our Complete Failure to Understand Platforms-

Last night, high-profile Google engineer Steve Yegge mistakenly posted a long rant about working at Amazon and Google's own issues with creating platforms on Google+. Apparently, he only wanted to share it internally with everybody at Google, but mistaken shared it publicly.

LOL! seems to me that google+ has been, and still is, an ongoing experiment with the intention of taking down facebook. i have g+ "liked" on facebook, and g+ asked some hilarious question about why hasn't everyone abandoned facebook yet. personally, g+ (as well as gmail) keeps getting better and more preferable than facebook and their mail service, and since every platform needs to start somewhere and gain feedback, that's why they only allowed a limited number of people in the initial stages to sign up, in what essentially amounts to beta testing. bottom line is that g+ isn't finished yet, and these things take time. rome wasn't built in a day, after all.
this rant is ridiculous and hilarious, and frankly, premature, although the meeping about amazon is entertaining.

clicky to their wall, to illustrate how hilarious all this is (scroll down for lulz)

he was on that meep long before he left linkswarms

The downside to g+ for most end users, is that so many people are already entrenched in facebook. Of course, that's its main appeal for people who hate facebook.

second thought:
They shoulda let onymous have all the accounts they wanted. That was a guaranteed boost to market share, completely missed.
