Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It drops everything associated with the google account.
Holy crap, are you serious? That's...what the fuck?! I wouldn't want to associate a social networking account with my Google account to begin with; I have enough things bundled into that. The fact that shenanigans with a Google+ account could destroy years of web history (I don't use Gmail anyway) is a strike against it.
Do no evil, my ass.
I think I will stick with the known shiftiness of FB (whose motto, I believe, is "Feed the Zuckerbeast!")

And my FB account isn't associated with my Google account, anyway.
This whole thing makes me want to use fewer of Google's products.
You're not Google's customer. Google's advertisers are their customers. You're Google's product.
Ditto Facebook, of course. I do think the different ways they (mis)treat users are interesting, in some kind of corporate-culture-analysis way.
Now I'm nervous. My Gmail email account is my only account, really. I'm using the Internet wrong.
It makes me a little sad I chose Blogger and not Wordpress, which is the only thing I have associated with my gmail account that is not a person I know (since I use my Yahoo for all other online activity). My emails are too perfect to want to have to shed either.
Speaking of online corporations, I just opened an Ally checking account with the idea that I'll eventually close my Chase account. Anybody use them that can report on their ATM fee refund system? I refuse to pay ATM fees and have zero interest if there will be any charge associated with (domestic) withdrawals.
Google's applications then, I guess that's the better word for it.
How is this - it makes me want to stop using Gmail, Chrome, Google, Google Docs, and anything else like that I use.
Better?
