Tried using the Blogger app just to see if it's a viable alternative to the Ploos and ... it sucks. Any post with an image fails to publish. I can't delete posts. It logs me out constantly.

It's abysmal.

Isn't blogger owned by Google too?

Frederica Mussolini I was just reading a review where they said the posts weren't "public" and that there is no "public" stream.

Jason ON They are planning to implement that. They supposedly take user feedback and build for users.

Kevin Guertin I did create an account over there, so I'll give it a whirl. G+ is still my online "home" though. At least until August 2019.

I dunno. I'm a fan of Google. This last gut-punch though and their don't be evil out the side of their mouths has got me doubting more and more. I just don't want to invest more in another thing they'll pull away even though I've more than paid with my personal data.

Simon Vince I'm also, and have been, skeptical of Google's services for quite some time now, but I do t think Blogger is going anywhere.

Wait, you actually used Blogger? Without anyone forcing you? I could have told you it's bad. It wasn't great before Google purchased it and never really improved later.

There are people complaining about WordPress. WordPress is dimensions better.

Olaf Fichtner I just used Blogger because I was alrady deep into Google's ecosphere and I figured why not?

Regretted it, didn't you? My old blog there still exists, but the whole thing was never a real Google thing. Blogs were fashionable back then, Google didn't have any, so they bought one. I'm surprised they haven't closed it down yet.

Wordpress when I had it was intuitive and a nice phone app to go with

The app sucks. Best interface is the desktop version.

Kenneth Thompson I was hoping it would be easy and intuitive so I could make quick posts on the go. But, no.

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. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. 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
