How the hell did I get here with "One Direction"?

???
I wish People would Stop and Think before posting!
Who says you don't sign up with your real details?
Who says G doesn't Verify you properly?
What is stopping G providing a 2nd field/input for a psuedo for public display?
The majority that want Psuedos are more than happy to go that route.
So the arguements against have No Standing what so ever.
-
Further - G claims to have Usabiltiy and Accessability teams, as well as QA teams.
If you have experienced any of G's "product launches", you should be left sitting there wondering exactly what these "teams" actually do - due to the sheer number of obvious blunders, mistakes, problems etc. that make it "live".
Worse - for those that deal with G (TCs etc.), they get asked to report problems - constantly. Repeatedly!
Waste of time/effort as G only ask again 3 months later!

Psuedo's is a big problem for G.
To start with, the excuse was that real names give Trust and Security. (I blew this apart by creating a profile similar to Googles Frances Haugen and posting as her).
Next Brian White of Google says it's because G cannot gaurantee "privacy" or "full anonymity" to those using Psuedo's.
They are incapable of separating "psuedo" from "anon" - they cannot seem to grasp that many people don't want anonymity, they want the name they've used for years.

Right - so a company that is developing stuff should Not pay any attention to pre-existing platforms, nor should they note the growing pains those platforms have encountered, and should most definitely No listen to complaints/concerns raised by users of those pre-existing platforms.
No, instead, it is much more professional (as well as efficient and intelligent) to compeltely re-invent the wheel, from scratch!
Not.

@suprfluo Agreed. Joseph Smarr has made some similar comments on other videos (I can find a ref if interested), talking about the fact that if they do pseudonymity, they want to do it *right*, and that's hard. As you said, if Bradley would make these comments in writing somewhere, it would go a long way towards making people feel that they are at least being heard.

Mr. Horowitz should articulate what was said here about pseudonymous in writing. I agree with what was said, and find it perfectly reasonable and so pushing a post about this would satisfy many people.
Please, don't "mmmhmm" into your mic so much Tim!

Particularly like Tim's comment about some of the criticisms G+ has gotten. To put in my own words, the service is really, really new. G has it out there, is learning, and appears to have the commitment to evolve the service over time. Let is develop, and give it time!
