Google+ Improves Substantially

Google implemented a change to Google+ a few days ago and it's a huge improvement.  There's the obvious aesthetic aspect to it but there's also a very large, to me, functional change in that it now links directly to YouTube and this means you don't have to upload videos all over again.  It's not perfect as it says it is listing all videos I've marked public but it misses quite a few.  Nevertheless, it's a huge improvement over the previous in which you had to hard-link them as is done with Facebook which is a huge nuisance.  It also does not show playlists but hopefully that will come in future.

There's quite a bit less cerebrotermitosis (i.e. brains eaten by termites) on Google+ than you will see on Facebook.  I'm sure Google+ has its share of drama queens as well but they don't seem to have turned their dramas into Olympic events in front of thousands as they have on Facebook.  Perhaps that has to do with the reduced frequency of cerebrotermitosis.

If you haven't looked at Google+ lately, you might want to take a tour.  Where Facebook has gone stagnant with dramas, censorship, and idiotic rules, Google+ is growing at quite a high speed.
