All of these are true and I guess I didn't notice because recently because I spend so much time on G+. But, reading this I am thinking about all the annoying status updates on FB and I'm glad I'm over here.

Closed my facebook accounts. I prefer to circle people that are interesting and have something interesting to say/share and not just because we had a Spanish class or whatever together in the 8th grade.

I still have FB, but it's for IRL friends and people who haven't made the the decision to come over here yet. Which is a lot.

I have enjoyed much more interesting posts and better conversations here than what happens on facebook. I like this staying separate and don't consider this a facebook replacement.

What I really want to happen here is for people to stop trying to have in-depth conversations on twitter. My professional group, for instance, holds weekly "twit chats" that annoy more than provide good conversation.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
