Google+

Revolution in online communication
GPlus guru B. L. Ochman describe Google Plus as, "Not a social net, like other social networks, but a revolution in online communication".

We agree and love all the "anti-GooglePlus" noise. Keep it up as we use this powerful engine in a way any such judgments will be costly (and costly in ways where those who think them may never recover).
