So I created a Google+ account just to see how the circles idea works, keeping groups of people segregated is an excellent idea in my opinion. There are some things about my 30+ yo children I just don't need to know.
I used my google account, the one I HAD to create when I got an android phone and entered the absolute minimum information, no photo the bastard have my phone number but absolutely nothing else. Then linked to a couple of people and promptly ignored it till today when in a fit of boredom I clicked on the + link.
Chasing down the list of hundreds of Indians I may know (I linked to a colleague who is from there) low and behold at the bottom are links to POH, Mark Clifton, some guy named Ravi who I recognised and a Mr Martin and Graus. How the f*** do they make the connection, the email info is different for CP and google.
I HATE BIG DATA - whirrrr (that was the propeller on my tin foil hat going off.)

I created an account after a couple of my buddies at CP suggested it. It lasted about 5 minutes.

Did you add me?
Cause I got a message from Google+ 4.5 hours ago with a name I didn't know and Google and LinkedIn didn't help know who it was.

Mount Druitt, so about 20 to 30 minutes by car depending on the traffic.

Google+ just informed me that you had bacon and eggs for breakfast. And you're planning to clip your toenails today. Never underestimate the power of big data!

The really frightening thing is I was chasing through a bacon blog earlier, then again the odd are pretty good I would do that almost any day, as for a dip just one word, Singapore. Ever thought of going into fortune telling.

Just be happy that Google isn't in the pr0n business and starts giving recommendation links to your friends from your own surfing habits.
(no smiley on that, I find it totally plausible)
People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

On the other hand, it would be hilarious if it let me know some of my lady friends ended up in the pr0n business.

The temptation to set up anonymous browsing is getting stronger all the time. However I don't think any of my friends have any illusions about me, if they do I'll be disappointed.
