*Dodgeball vs Twitter (and Facebook)* March, 2007

Yes, at one time Dodgeball was neck and neck with Twitter and Facebook.

*Tacotown, aka Buzz* August 2009
I binge watched TGIF videos when I joined Google. This one has a special place in my heart. So inspirational.
I'm happy that so many of the people you see below are still here -- still trying to deliver on this dream. [In fact too many to plus-mention.]

*Fall Detection and Diversity*
Why not build fall detection into every phone? And why don't we have these kinds of features?
I recently had a scare where my wife passed out and hit her head while walking our dog. Luckily a neighbor noticed and helped her back to our house. It's highly unlikely she'd use a device like the one you see below, but I suspect an app on the phone would be acceptable (and more useful)
Which brings me back to product design. When was the last time you saw _elder_ or _person with medical condition_ as a target user outside of a11y bug? Having multiple points of view really matter. Without it we're blind to many use cases across the design spectrum.

Sad to see this happen, but somewhat expected given the complex code base and lack of institutional support.
Reminds me that I should push some Apache Shindig changes to keep that on life support...

What will it take to change this narrative:
_There are companies that do not get social and they never will. Apple’s one of them, Google is the other: they’ve failed with Google+. When your culture is engineering-focused, you do not understand social. Social is a very emotional experience. Engineers are not so much, in a lot of cases,_
It won't be facts, since any numbers we release are instantly dismissed. My guess is that we're going to have to move influentials over, one-by-one until the zeitgeist changes. People only see what's in their bubble, and Google's social efforts don't penetrate.... yet.

I love it when things just f'ing work.
- I read an internal G+ post by @118054148122560925848 about bad snippets on http://
- Commented, said I'd ping folks.
- Pinged grpc TL @117058620747746997157 on hangouts
- He creates a group chat with @117889162726815756319
- I say here's my github id

What's the story here? @103643500382916616176 or @106642279061626308531 can you weigh in?
I was hopeful that we'd offer a way for adults to have adult conversations around adult topics and content. Hell, sometimes I'd like to restrict my youtube comments to only adults (*yes* we have the ability in the ASBE backend to do this!)
I'm also sad that we're spending any amount of time to help Tobacco companies peddle their wares, which it seems is the main driver for a lot of this...

So if Google is creating special versions just for kids, maybe they can do one just for adults. Then I thought what's the opposite of a unicorn and search provided just the answer: *icorn*
Oh and what did the Unicorn call his dad?

We're starting work on supporting standard Android Share/Send Intents in the G+ App. Would love to hear use-cases that people may have or hints on how to make it awesome.
I already found that I can share out to Flipboard which handles things really well. Also surprising things like sharing to Barcode reader (generates a nifty QR code)

My new go-to way to share mobile android screens during meetings.
Many conference rooms have a local input for HDMI and this works great with it. Tips:
- Enable Settings→Developer Options→Show touches
- Fire up the camera if you need to display a device that's not slimport compatible. (like the 2012 nexus 7)
- Get it from stuff - https://
