Does *anybody* use Google+? Every one I've seen for various people or companies seems to be either totally empty or abandoned.
I get the impression it was something Google knocked up because they wanted to tap into the market for Facebook, Twitter and what not. It used to be you were given one in order to be able to upload or comment on YouTube and I dare say you get one with new Gmail accounts now. Doesn't mean they're actively used.

Well, it wasn't the first time Google tried to create a social network. They had Google Buzz before that, which didn't go down well.
While we're off topic, the saddest social network I've come across is Peach. In case you don't know, this was a social network app that launched a couple of years ago, and was touted as the next big thing. So loads of established companies, blogs and websites started up accounts on there in anticipation, and I signed up to get a good username (as any geek does). It turned out nobody wanted to use it and so my feed has ended up full of accounts that haven't posted anything for two years.

Yes it has gottago. The whole site does, I'm surprised Google haven't killed it off like they have with many of their less popular features over the years.
Would you go as far as to say that it has gottago?

This is still the case.

I think I have seen the video you want to add to that thread. Possibly a good thing you can't post it, it will upset a few people!

Yeah, I can look at adding that in - they don't make it easy though do they? Embedding all sorts of JavaScript in.
I'm trying to hold off new features at the moment until I can get the new look ready but I'll add it to the list.
Oh, and Google+ can definitely disappear!

Will there any back off changes? Mind you I hate the fact I can mass delete messages. ie you have to click all 10 on the singler page and then delete and it can be pain trying to do more. ( I know I should have kept on top of it)

A minor quirk I spotted earlier when posting up some videos for the Sony Crime Channel launch. If you wrap a formatting tag around an abbreviation which gets auto-replaced with one of those hover tooltips, it seems to go a bit squiffy.
In my example, I was trying to bold ECP.
