Google Plus... not too complicated, not too simple.

Enjoying the latest social networking site, Google Plus, especially in light of all the radical and unwelcome changes that Facebook just implemented. 

Honestly, I can't shake this nagging feeling that this past weekend Chuck Lorre, Reed Hastings, and Mark Zuckerberg got together in a dank, dimly lit room.  Rain splattering the windows, a church organ playing in the distance, the gental tapping of a tree branch against the window...

Lorre:  "I'm sick of handling this Sheen thing with a quiet dignity.  I want to immaturely use my show as a vessel to spew hatred at the man who made the show the wild success it is today!"

Hastings: "I know what you mean.  I'm tired of getting paid loads of cash by offering a service that is used as background noise to cleaning and sleeping"

Zuckerberg: "Look, the people have been relying on us for too long for great service.  I say we stick it to them.  Lorre, you take sitcoms!  Hastings, Tv and movies!  As for social networking... you leave that to me..."

Lightning strikes and maniacal laughter ensues.

Fin.

I find it ironic and odd that the ball is being dropped by these wildly successful business minded individuals.  And before the week was through.  Yikes... wonder what tomorrow will bring?
