For me to read this article I have to sign up for a Google plus account. No go. I'm trying to reduce my daily social media intake, thankyouverymuch.

Just keep in mind if you post on Google plus and no where else, you are limiting your audience. I, for one, will not read it.

I am not sure what you are trying to say. There is no requirement for you to sign up for a Google+ account, or a Google account whatsoever.

A lot of people post very informative and provocative things on Google+, it is a shame that people would shun them just because it is on Google+.

Reading public Google+ posts on a mobile device doesn't work without a Google+ account. Try it.
I read it ok...

I don't have a google+ account and have a browser that is pretty much locked down. ( no-script + ad-block + request policy ) Other than allowing google.com in no-script, no action required.

Short read, no surprises. - paypal customer has problem, can't get any customer service. There really needs to be some effective competition to PP before these stories stop, I think.

I can even read the content with curl. No javascript or cookies required.
Reading it on an iPhone and it's not allowing me access to the article.
