Google+ Oddities Part 2

Oddities Part 2

I just wanted to add one more thing to my earlier post about the strange ways of Google+. One of the most annoying things about G+ has got to be the way they require you to post. I understand their theory and principal of sharing certain things with certain circles and communities. However what I don't agree with is that if I want to share with multiple communities I can't and on top of that when I go through the process of sharing with multiple communities it shows up every time in my feed. For example if I share a photo with 10 different groups the same photo will show up 10 times in a row in my feed. This is just not a problem for me that is annoying on my own feed, but also annoys me when I look at someone else's profile and have to scroll and scroll just to get to their next post, because G+ finds it necessary to show me that they shared the same pic with 10 different communities. 

So my advice for G+ is.... STOP IT!! 

I really don't have much time to get into the next subject on my hit list, which would be about the way G+ handles pictures, I'll save that for part 3.

Google+ and its oddities

Google+ and its Oddities 

Okay first of all I'll just say that I'm not going to go too deep into this, since it's 11:22 pm and I don't plan on being up for much longer. With that being said let me start with Google+'s number of views thingy (that's the scientific name :) ) I only have 112 or 113  followers on G+ but it says that I now have over 281,000 views, Wow! you'd think if this were true I'd have more followers. Instead it makes me feel like a zoo animal (if it's true, and I think not) people just come by and look at you and then keep walking day after day. Hell if 10% would have added me I'd be doing pretty good on the old internet. 

That takes me to my next point, I don't understand how some people have such a large amount of followers. There are a few types of these people, 1. People who just post random things they find on the net (looks like Tumblr users to me) 2. They have a lot of followers and yet haven't posted anything in over a year or more, or they've posted like 10 things over 2-3 years. Like I said I'm not going deep into this right now, but I may come back and edit this post to add more, but for now that is enough on the followers thingy (again its scientific)

One more thing before I go, another funny thing about Google+ is that Photographers are some of the most popular people. Now that is just awesome since I love photography and design in general. Well just a few things I felt like saying today, and to the few who read this I say thank you!
