tis true Al, there's a lot of Google folks on it. But it genuinely is a superior platform, it just needs more regular bods to join.

There's an open invite here:

It's a very good point James and one I need to sort out.

I haven't looked into the Google+ API in the same way as I have the Facebook one - I always prefer to embed the code properly rather than just something like an 'Add This' button.

Google+ button (and a twitter one at the same time) added to news articles. That's the first cup of coffee today!

It's not pinin'! It's passed on! This social networking service is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed it to the perch it'd be pushing up the daisies! Its server processes are now 'istory! It's off the twig! It's kicked the bucket, it's shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-SOCIAL NETWORKING SERVICE!!
