1781 - Friends

I was looking at some of the 'friends' I have on 'Google Friend Connect'. (which is a different name than I remember) A few of them set up accounts years ago and haven't been back since. The last one I got was a guy who friended about 4000 people to get a following on his blog.

But then I found this note and some links...

We're retiring Friend Connect on March 1, 2012. Find out how you can keep in touch with your community.

So it looks like they want me to use google+ whether I want to or not. With google acting like they have been recently it may be a 'not'.

If you haven't been here over the weekend go look at Saturday for something more entertaining.

Google is trying to force everyone into Google Plus. But, G+ kinda sucks. Well, I think it does. I've had a G+ acct for a long time and haven't even looked at it in months.

Google bought Picnik which is a wonderful photo editing site with millions of happy customers
now Google is shutting Picnik down come April and pushing everyone into G+ which has something called 'Creative something' for photos
it's a freaking mess
I have to create circles of friends and there's all this crap about phone photos and half the time the upload dies before the photo gets there

I am pissed!

J - I can't even remember if I signed up for a g+.

D - I didn't even know about Picnic but I'm pissed for you.

MPP - I guess it's the only constant.
