Google Engineer: “Google+ is a Prime Example of Our Complete Failure to Understand Platforms” – File this under “shit that was public” or “social media snafus.” The real problem this shows is a cultural ideal from developers that confirms that Google knows numbers, not people.

For every “surefire hit” like a Pinterest there are two or three Google Waves or Empire Avenues. I like the check-in functionality for TV shows, books, movies and music; but really haven’t seen much more benefit to it aside from the stickers for the users.

Tolkien Fan Creates His Own Stunning Hobbit House [video] – Not going to lie here, but I am a complete geek when it comes to Tolkien and his books. I know that when I get that, I forget about the article and head to Google. Have a good weekend and catch you on Monday. If so you know how much a pain in the ass it is. How about you?

In case you haven’t heard, Google has launched a new network for its users, Google+. Sure Google+ has some social components, but it is far from a social network, rather it’s a means to make search smarter. If you have used Google search, YouTube, Gmail, Google Analytics, Google Docs or Google Voice, you are a Google User.

The truth to just about everything is a quick Google search away. The expansion of the web into every corner of the world has also made readers much more informed. It’s nearly impossible for a flack and a journo to collude and pass off something slightly dishonest or spin worthy. I love designing social media and alternate reality games.
