#1: Google Plus sucks because they integrated their comment system on YouTube and ruined the entire experience. On the other hand, I have had more meaningful business discussions using Google+ comments than anywhere else online – I hope it filters over to YouTube 빠샤메카드 다운로드.

#2: Google+ is the worst giant corporation in the world, ever! Yet they continue to create new innovations in social technology that are making social marketers like you, richer java jvm 다운로드. Just look at Google Glass.
