Some time ago I received a message that I had been included in somebody's circle.
This was a complete surprise to me. What kind of circle? Big! Blue! Sewing circle! Circle of life! It was a mystifying situation.
I received more notices that I had been included in circles. I started looking up Google plus. I couldn't find much other than they wanted me to set up and account.
Do I need another account of some kind ? No. So I didn't set up an account.
I kept running into the Google plus thing. So I thought I'll set up an account. Well the setting up an account was about as confounding as the circles. I went through the procedures of setting up an account but when I was finished I couldn't find my account. Set up face book and there it is. Simple. Set up twitter. Two or three steps and I'm on twitter. Google plus is a mystery.
I discovered my Google plus account when I was looking at somebody else's Google plus account. I discovered that there were no circles! All this talk about circles and it turns out to be just a list. Can you believe that? Do I have a pass word for Google plus? I can't remember. What was Google thinking of when they set up Google plus?
Now I still can't find my account. I've added some names to my "circles." I don't know if anybody knows that they are in one or two of my circles. Nobody has told me they found out they wee in one of my circles.
Now after all this Google plus looks like something that combines face book, twitter, blogs and a whole lot of other things that I want to keep separate so that I don't get confused. Google has in their wisdom taken lots of information about me to make up my Google plus account. Imagine? I must be an idiot and not know what is good for me. I think Google just took away some of my decision making power.
Has anybody else has this relationship with Google Plus?
So I end up 2015 with a rant!
I've had a very good year at Hiawatha House. You've made my year in so many ways. I look forward to being around Hiawatha House in 2015 and having you along for the ride.
Have a great 2015 everybody!
