Dear Googles: Stop asking
I was all enthusiastic about G+ for about 5 minutes - until they wouldn't allow my wife to sign up without giving them her phone number, <i>and proving that it was hers by accepting a call from them</i>. Just who the fuck do they think they are??<p>There is no way I could suggest my friends and family sign up to such an intrusive service, so I quickly deleted my own account.<p>It's an absolutely stunning achievement to create a web-site that's even more offensively intrusive than Facebook. I hope Google are proud.
