Google Deleting Private Profiles

Posted by samzenpus on from the out-of-the-shadows dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Google announced that it will no longer support private Google Profiles after July 31. The move comes as Google is rolling out its latest social experiment, Google+. Those who have already been admitted to Google+ will see their Google+ profiles replace their Google Profiles. At the moment the only information Google requires users to reveal is their name and gender."

  1. Webmail alternative? by Lazy+Jones · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    somewhat OT, but can anyone recommend a good webmail provider whose business is not selling and analyzing our private communication, but providing a good webmail client? I don't mind paying, my privacy is worth it.

    Good Christ, this is modded "Insightful"? It's just more of the same "Look at me! I'm so *ALTERNATIVE*" bollocks people spew across the internet. You don't use Facebook, LinkedIn, Google or Google+ and declare you've got friends, work, hobbies and interest(s)? Good for you! Why the fuck would you think we give a toss? Quit propping up your ego, you useless fat fuck.
