I say we take off and nuke the place from orbit

Well, I just made my Google profile "public."  I doubt I'll bother with Google+.  I'm on Facebook, it's enough annoyance for me.  It seems like every time they try to improve it, it's actually just adding stuff I don't need.

People are saying Google+ will be different, and at first, sure it will be.  But over time, if it catches on, it'll become more and more the same.

Anyway, I should be set for the Great Blogger Purge of 2011 now.

  1. Nuke it from orbit?

    It's the only way to be sure!

  2. Dude, I never thought that I'd be so "old" at 35...but I have to tell you, I got no interest in that newfangled Google+, sonny! I just got meself aclimatized to this hear Blogger doohickey!

    Seriously, though...not interested in moving over to the new shiny. Hope I don't get evicted though. That's my only concern with all of this: is Blogger going to get the ax?

  3. @DRANCE: I'm not too concerned with it disappearing, but I'm expecting Google+ to slowly assimilate everything.

    I'm currently getting set up at Tumblr. The 'Social Networking' thing is a bit too much for me, as well.

  4. They say Blogger will just be renamed. But they also say any private profiles will be deleted. So you may have a blog but no profile to use to log into it. Worst case scenario, your blog gets deleted with your private profile.

    PITA
