I hate Google . Can’t stand it. It is agonizing to use. The stream is so noisy, it won’t even bother me when the inevitable Google ads arrive. Culturally, it feels like walking into a religious school. It swarms with disciples of the waiting for the messianic downfall of the Evil Internet, so that the One True Google is all that’s left.

- Jon Mitchell, Google Is Going To Mess Up The Internet

Mitchell’s got a series of points regarding the way the Google+ works that is creating a new social layer on top of the web of pages, and making it hard to find things and share things in more ‘traditional’ ways. And he doesn’t like the social padding involved. Read it. There’s a lot of detailed analysis, not just a screed.

About me

Social anthropologist, clairvoyant, postfuturist.

My work is social tools and their impact on media, business, and society.
