can we all agree that social networks/platforms like this are not easy. They may have 'screwed it up' in most opinions but it's not because of pure stupidity -- there are a ton of challenges and complexities here. Some of the integrations, albeit only parts, have been brilliant and worked really well in my eyes..... getting G+ to cover so many of the google services is a tough one. But then questions about complex vs. simple and circles and the endless battle between common consumer-level users and power users......and the whole Open net vs closed.....wow.. see, it's not easy ! heh
