Using Google without a Google+ profile
I find it incredibly amusing and also very frustrating that all the top comments to this article are simply G+ re-shares that add absolutely no value to the comments section and simply more garbage the reader has to sift through in order to view legit comments.<p>>>"Google has been doing some rethinking"
thanks I already read that<p>>>"#googleplusupdate #youtube "
thank you that was valuable<p>>>[another summary of the article I just read]<p>This is also one of my major complaints with youtube. I find it hard enough just to follow a single youtube comment thread because:<p>1. Everyone appears to be speaking a dialect of english that is understandable seemingly to everyone but myself - some sort of strange mixture of 90's IRC speak with some klingon thrown in.<p>2. People are replying to users but the reply username doesn't match the display username.<p>John Smith: That was a great video<p>> Jane Smith: +Bubba I agree<p>me: "who the heck is Jane talking to?"<p>3. Then finally there're all of those G+ reshares:<p>John Smith: Look at this video: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/asdf83289" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/asdf83289</a><p>> John Smith's friend: I enjoyed that video<p></rant>
