I find public facing popular G+ accounts suffer much the same, loads of useless comments. 140 comments that you can't be bothered to read. If you do ever read them, you'll notice n…

I got freaked out by Facebook because I signed up there using a work email. I think Facebook's recommendation system was using the data from other users' address books. As in I'd g…

Actually I sympathise with the poster here. I just tried to get back to the personalised vanity chooser thing in G+, and ended up clicking on Settings then to Account, which got me…

I agree with most of your moans here, apart from your first. I haven't any issue with the random (probably uuids) strings and url length. I do find G+ difficult to scan though. To …

My only concern would be the link rot that might occur if your urls are later rewritten to the new username. Which makes a mockery of having the vanity urls in the first place. Hav…

Perhaps that's a new requirement. Some of us don't bother with mobile phones. I signed up for an account, at one time it asked, another it didn't. Try and empty your browser cache …

I guess that's for signed in users?

Only the first video played for me on Linux/Firefox nightly, and Readability choked on it.

The vanity urls really annoy me too. They just don't feel appropriate for these large social networks. I prefered the unique-ids. Which url does John Smith get? Does he get +JohnSm…

Hoskins must have some plumbing fetish.

I just read this: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/bott/if-vlc-can-ship-a-free-dvd-pl... What's the deal with VLC and H.264? Is it along the same lines? Also I don't really get why you'd …

Can you really trademark a name such as Mario?

One hopes you'll use the bit bucket.
