Google-Plus: Still Not Ready for Prime Time

To let you know where I am in the continuing soap opera of Google-Plus, I am now allowed to join. Yes, I had 500 followers. Now I have none. But I am allowed to join.

What if I want to find out what happened to 500 followers? Why, I can click the email address link in the upper right-hand corner. I can get help from Google.

So, I clicked that. Here is the "help" I got.

One option is sending feedback. Do I have some feedback! So, I clicked Send Feedback. Presto!

It is really incredible. I joined. I got hundreds of others to join. I am now stranded. I must start over.

I am not going to start over. The social media thing may be a great tool for newbies and also for stars with 20 million fans. It's not for me. I have decided to forgo the Google-Plus experience. I have had more than enough.

I will start a new daily eletter soon. I will keep readers posted on what I am reading, what videos I think are useful, and what videos I have produced. That's my view of social media. Google-Plus is not.
