Yuck. Google's not going to be satisfied until either Google+ is integrated into everything and is a huge success, or is integrated into everything and kills the company. Once I leave Gmail and Google search, there's not much left for me on Google.

Edit: also, I think this focus on Google+ is myopic. They want all the data Facebook has on us. You're telling me that they can't put together a good picture of my entire life and pretty much exactly what to market to me between Google Analytics, Gmail, Google Search, YouTube, Google Play, Android, Google Drive, Calendar, Google Books, Google Groups, AdSense, Google DNS, and Maps? Maybe they should take all that Google+ budget and devote it to datamining their successful products. Anyhow, I hope Linus enjoys his own little social network, he's the only one I know who uses it.
