Zuckerberg Quits Google+ Over Privacy Concerns

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the so-much-irony dept.

ianpm writes "Mark Zuckerberg has decided to leave Google's new social network because he 'doesn't want to be tracked.' In other news, the Internet's irony meter has just exploded. Robert Scoble is now the most followed person on Google+ according to The Inquirer." Most of the article is about the rankings of various G+ users with big followings. I currently have a measly 400 or so. Guess I'll never be as cool as MySpace's Tom.

    That's odd he's off the top of the list, maybe given special status or I'm following an impostor? Because he's still in my dbag circle ...

    How the hell does Google get people to make an about face like that?

    Using Facebook makes you feel like a cheap hooker that just took part in a tranny bukake scene for $15.

    Using Google+ makes you feel like a wined and dined princess that finished off the perfect date night with the perfect guy by giving the perfect BJ.

    Sure, in both cases you will have a bit of spunk on your lips, but one situation makes you feel a lot better than the other.
