Well, this will be hilarious at work, where one of the initiatives I'm involved in is heavily reliant on Google Plus. I expect an influx of complaining this morning.

Apparently we're exempt. But a dying network is a dying network so I hope the IT geniuses are figuring out something else.

Won't miss it - I nearly joined, then realised how much it invades privacy by e.g. linking you to everyone in your gmail address book and backed away VERY fast.
