Jahvoll Mein Herr Google+

I am so sorry I signed onto Google+.

And I feel even worse now that I understand my signing

on means that my old blog buddies have to set up a Google+

profile to comment on my blog.

 

Joining Google+ is easy enough. 

You segregate your online contacts into circles called 'friends',

'acquaintances' or 'family'. 

Presumably 'family' is where you put anyone who is extremely

annoying.

 

Anyway -  that part is like a false front on a building.

 

Behind the scenes things seem rather manipulative, i.e., I keep

getting messages from Google+ that people I have never followed

are 'following me back' and then of course I feel obligated to add

them to my circles.

 And you can quickly lose control of what is happening to your blog site.

Example:

Sometime in the last week or so bossy Google+ took over

a North End Journal from its parent, user friendly Google.

No comments come to me except through them now.

 

It feels like being in a face book forced labour camp.

What I'm saying is that I did not, to my knowledge give

Google+ permission to go into Blogger and make such

 

changes on my blog.

I don't like Google+ and my advice is to stay away.
