The Fall of Google+
I literally could not have said it better.

The Fall of Google
I am very sad to write this, but Google’s failure of leadership on Google+ is a complete disaster. The utter disregard for end users is shocking.
I hope that business cases will be written about Google+ in the future to illustrate what happens when businesses lose sight of the fact that end users still needed to be treated with the same respect accorded to paying customers.
I hope, too, that people will take a lesson from this service and the tremendous loss of human capital that it represents, to reassess how willing we are to trust our creations and our relationships to large corporations.
So for $20 I’ll be able to export my G+ stream to my blog. Quite a lot for a one off process but might well be worth it.

Colin Jones Yup. Given it’s a one off payment, it’s not so bad.

I’ve found a problem. YouTube links aren’t just not embedded, they’re not even recognised as links. If I edit and immediately save a post they embed but this will be a pain to do for all my posts.
