April 2, 2014 By Jeff Turner 4 Comments

Who doesn’t like a little fun competition. Numbers are cool. If you hadn’t noticed, because you likely don’t go to your Google+ profile very often, Google has added a little number that is almost certain to get people talking about another irrelevant statistic.

June 30, 2011 By Jeff Turner 7 Comments

I’ve been trying to put my finger on what bothers me about the new Google+ social offering.

This sort of experiment might be good for people to compare plus.google to […]
