Google+

Ok, that article implies that keeping your profile out of search is not equivalent to having a private profile. That's not clear from the things I've seen Google saying (in particular http://www.google.com/support/profiles/bin/answer.py?hlrm=en&answer=1192471), but it's good to know. It means my RL profile is probably safe. I still think it's very much the wrong move and is likely to piss off a lot of people. Hell, it pisses off me, because I'd *like* to have a completely private profile. Google is doing its best to try to drive me away.
