Technology - Alexis Madrigal - How Google Can Beat Facebook Without Google Plus - The Atlantic
Some great points but he fails to mention the "mink oiled boots" syndrome: NO pureplay social network could succeed now because the era of pureplay social networks is waning fast; I don't think he appreciates that Google gets this, Page's purported obsession notwithstanding

How to get more honest search results - InfoWorld
Backlash against Google/Google+, this post shows how to 1) how to disconnect Google+ from Google search results and 2) configure your browser to default to non-Google search engines. Useful, but assumes 2 things that will be untrue for some people: a) Google+ results "pollute" search results in all cases; b) Yahoo/Bing give better search results. Although all of the above could be true in some cases, the devil is in the details. It is surprising that the post didn't mention a much better alternative: info.com, whose algorithm sorts results from all three search engines. Executive's Guide recommends being aware of the ground shifting under search. Don't get caught up in religious wars, and try different things. As we have argued in these pages here, Google+ results will enhance certain kinds of searches and will return inferior results in others. As infoworld says, users can "filter out" Google+ search results on a case-by-case basis, so the watchword is to try different things. Also, get acquainted with info.com, it could add serious value in some use cases/situations. If you really want "quality" in terms of what you're trying to accomplish, Google+ has made it more complicated. C'est la vie, quoi! ;^(

How to update Twitter and Facebook with your Google+ posts | Ian Anderson Gray
Useful hacks and explanation: explains Google's slowness with making API available, which keeps Google+ disconnected from the rest of the ecosytem and frustrates users. This imposes a high cost of use because users are only able to post from Google+. Since it delays the adoption of Google+, it's bound to frustrate Google, too, which is a good thing!

Google's Strategy To Boost Its G+ Social Network Risks Harming Quality Of Search Warns SEO Expert - SVW
Useful riff on disruptive potential of Google+ nonetheless has glaring holes and reflects arbitrary assumptions. I recommend reading it to learn about this argument, which is based on this questionable logic: "social data degrades the 'quality' of search results." The real answer is far less satisfying, "It depends." Some search results will be improved with social data while others won't. Search, SEO/SEM and other players dislike Google+ when it disrupts their businesses. Expect, and listen to, these arguments, but realize that they are often biased.

Through Buddy Media, HootSuite & More, Google+ Pages Get Third-Party Management Tools | TechCrunch
Google spinning up Google+'s developer ecosystem. As I've written from the beginning, Google is playing the long game here; it's obvious that an inordinate amount of WordPress's Facebook's and Twitter's strengths and value has come from their APIs and developer communities (they're all platform plays from this perspective), and Google is taking its time, experimenting. They are executing very well and have time to do it right. Monitor this carefully, the functionality will accelerate. Google may also be taking some lessons from LinkedIn and how they have used an extremely controlled approach to their developer community. Google is also feeling the pain of the chaotic (according to some) Android developer community. A lot of lessons they may be considering.
