Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...

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.
