I disagree - he makes a reasonable assumption. G+ allows you to share things that are public and share things that are private. If someone was sharing things that are private (our assumption), wouldn't it follow that they are sharing things that they have indicated (via some other means) are public? For example, David Drummond's post on the Google Blog regarding Android patents ( http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/0…

In fact, this was one of the main use-cases G+ hammered on when it launched. That said, I believe G+ has public-facing benefit. It would be nice to see honchos above Vic Gundotra using it publicly.
Vic reports to the CEO, so Larry is the only "honcho" above Vic.

#74One of the problems with being somewhat famous and being on these things is that you get barraged with stuff from random people. I was mentioned in an early Googler's post and I still get barraged with stuff.
This is even more of a reason that Google execs should use Google+ publicly. They would then understand this problem exists for this type of user and push for solutions. Perhaps some sort of priority inbox feature for Google+? Zuckerberg would have come across this problem and would have prioritized it. Features like the Social Inbox and the constant revisions of the feed might be examples of this.
Good point. That said, the main folks (Vic, Bradley) in charge do in fact use it.

#75Perhaps Google uses Google Apps internally, Google+ is not yet available on Apps

#76Eric Schmidt was actually registered at Google+, but removed his account within the first week when it was "launched" back in jun/july
Re: Google’s Management Doesn’t Use Google+
#77In the same way google has their own internal version of gmail with features that aren't publicly they will have in internal version of G+. I expect they all use that internal G+ even if they don't use the public one.

#78I'd bet Google management doesn't click on Google ads very often, either.
If they did, Google should be banned from AdSense according to its own policy.

#79Kind of hard to use Google+ when Google Apps doesn't even support it!

#80Earlier quoted context omitted.
Google+ explicitly doesn't allow the use of pseudonyms.
That rule is for 'ordinary' people/users. Certain 'special' people are exempted from this, and are allowed fictitious names.
I would expect they mean special people with well-known stage names like Madonna, Sting etc. similar to how Quora enforces it. But I guess if Larry is making the rules he gets to decide if he is special enough :)
