In Google Reader I can send a piece to Twitter but I can’t send it to Google+.
It’s an issue across branding, functionality and user experience.
Previously Google represented novelty, ease of use, simplicity and innovation. With every half-baked idea, lacking basic intra-operability and seemingly losing sight of their own suite of services, they damage the trust we invested in them.
Maybe it’s only a little bit at a time, but it all adds up.
