This isn't banking, it's chatting with friends. If google wants to make chatting with friends as stringent as banking they are not going to win a very high level of satisfaction or be able to keep up with competition who understands that chatting with friends is a casual endeavor.

So? Nobody's making you use Google+, any more than you're forced to use Facebook or LinkedIn or any other social networking platform.

Of course not. I'm just saying Google is fucking it up. The fact that facebook also fucks it up is no consolation. All it will take is a smart competitor who knows how to cater to their user base better than google or facebook to steal their userbase out from under them.

Nevertheless, it's a free country, google is free to fuck it up to their heart's content.
