I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

I bet my panties that Facebook paid this guy to write a bad review of +.
By the by, I know a few people here who will chuckle endlessly at your comparison of a Google product to MobileMe ... hahahaha ... and I'm an Apple chappie ...
Let's look at another Google product: Android. Huge media buildup and then people ignored it citing the G1 was no iPhone killer. Now, a couple of years later the Android system is more widespread than iOS.
Remember, it's the turtle that eventually defeats the hare, not the other way around.
But these last few hours have given me a peek in to something that no one has been talking about: Google+ is pretty interesting for real conversations. To be sure, these conversations often take place in forums and on individual blogs. Sometimes they break out on Facebook. But here people are talking and the reason I am too is that it is technically easy to do. No recaptcha, easy tracking.
It also doesn't require much structure. I saw you post somewhere else because Google put it in the notifications. You saw me as well. I could have posted this entry anywhere and it would be part of the conversation.
Anyhow, I'm pretty sure I am not going to hear the end of this any time soon. I've been wrong before. When I got on Google Wave the first time I think I tweeted that "Facebook was dead." Oh well.
