Does Google+ meet expectations? - http://colinwalker.me.uk/2011...
Excellent points and we will see if these changes come about. - JR Holmes
Saw this first on Google+, but still worth the read. - JR Holmes
Paul Adams: Seeing Google+ In Public Is Like Bumping Into An Ex-Girlfriend. - http://techcrunch.com/2011...
Very nice article about Paul Adams who did foundational work on the concept that became Google+'s Circles. - JR Holmes
★ On Attribution and Credit - http://daringfireball.net/2011...
Well said. As a former journalism student, this is exactly the correct way to handle attribution of content sourced from other web sites. I intend to always try to adhere to this. - JR Holmes
Google+ Stumbles Early with Privacy Loophole [Google] - http://gizmodo.com/5817012...
This is NOT a real issue. The same thing can be done with email and people are quite aware and comfortable with that. I was surprised that there was any mechanism for restricting re-sharing at all. - JR Holmes
Somewhere Between Predator Drones and Battlefield Have We Lost Sight of the Horrors of War? [Opinion] - http://kotaku.com/5816782...
This is an old science fiction story (and was old even when Star Trek did their version in the late 60s). For all that remote weaponry appears to distance people from battle, it is a sad truth that land can only be taken by boots on the ground and (at least currently) at that risk of human lives. - JR Holmes
Smurfette Fashion Show: Kill It With Fire [Badvertising] - http://io9.com/5816802...
What was the product placement cost for this. I would have hoped that Harper's Bazaar would have had more self-worth than to do something like this. - JR Holmes
HP’s TouchPad-Can it compete with Apple’s iPad and Android Tablets? - http://techpinions.com/hp%e2%8...
Given the trouble that the Android tablets have been having, it looks like the HP Touchpad has a significant opportunity to shine as an iPad alternative. The secret advantage that it may have is how it handles web apps that aren't specifically targeted to the Touchpad. If it handles them well, they get to take advantage of the ChromeOS apps, the supposed Facebook HTML5 apps, and more. In theory WebOS should be able to do this well, but for the moment we have to wait and see. - JR Holmes

You have to love the somewhat uncredited appearance of the Minnow illustrating the article. Looks like Murdoch isn't going to get anywhere near the $100 million he was once wishing for. - JR Holmes
