I used two factor authentication in the past but found it burdensome. Unlike, well, most of you probably, I don't always have my phone on me or nearby. I may give it a go again ...

I could see it being burdensome if you are logging into a variety of computer that you do not own.  For me I have my phone, work computer and home computer.  It "remembers" those so I don't have to really worry about the extra step 99% of the time.  It is really cumbersome when you happen to lose your phone though.  So think through that scenario and be prepared.

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
