I know females that say "guys" referring to both males and females.

Sorry but I don't see how you got through a degree (and a masters) without having to do unpleasant stuff.

Same for me. Nearly all posts so far have been about Google+ or testing its features.

The problem is, with G+, you will see less posts on general because people will be posting to their specific circles which you might not be in.

Have you nicknamed the Google bar as the "funeral bar" because it's dark? Are all dark things funeral things?

Both are bad because it's hard to share something that is not good but might be important. Murder stats for where you live, for example.

There's nothing wrong with your comment and yet it is downvoted. What's going on?

Anyway, I think Google+ will stay around and replace/fulfill communication needs for a lot of people but it won't beat Facebook. People LIKE seeing everything their friends post - even if they complain about it.

Check Scobles updates. The account is legit and not surprising. Do you think nobody at Twitter has a Facebook account and nobody in Google has Twitter or Facebook?

It certainly is a feature. I often browse Facebook on a netbook which has a smaller screen. Before, photos didn't fit on my screen. Now they do.

You'll notice that Google+ has the same type of viewer.

"Why is it so bad to have your sex duration published but its okay that your jogging performance visible to the world?"

They are completely different. Maybe not to you but if you can't see how it would bother some people then you're not thinking very hard.

That's not the real question at all. If the website didn't explicitly state that this information would be private then it is a privacy issue.

If we think about real life, you need an identity for things like passports, state benefits and some other stuff but with normal things like shopping you don't need an ID at all.

So if I go to a shop and buy a tshirt then I have done that pretty much anonymously but if I buy on a website that requires a Facebook connect login then I have given way more information about myself.

How come Windows doesn't come with a compiler for c?

Is Hipmunk profitable?

Well this is pretty useless without knowing the real name and real shortened name. It makes sense if the new name _looked_ better than the old one. That's pretty obvious.

I think the title is a bit silly. It suggests anyone can remove three vowels and be more successful. Fcbok shuld give it a try.

I really dislike the name. It just sounds wrong when I say it (or think it).

Any plans on bringing it to Android?
