Mark Zuckerberg joins Google+
FACEBOOK FOUNDER Mark Zuckerberg has done what the whole world is clamouring to do, join Google+, his rival's social networking experiment.
Invites have only been around since Thursday and after much scrabbling The INQUIRER got one last night. A hands-on review will appear later, but even we were beaten to membership by young Zuckerberg who, as the brains behind Facebook, is facing a significant challenge.
According to the 'isn't she fat?' and 'oooh, look who's in a bikini' UK newspaper the Daily Mail, the account might actually be fake, and Zuckerberg might not actually have created a public profile on a headline grabbing assault on his business after all.
"With a short biography that simply states 'I make things', perhaps he wanted to check out the competition," reports the Mail. "It is more likely, however, that the account is fake and was placed on Google+ to poke fun at the Facebook chief executive."
Who woulda thunk it? µ

@david delaria Did you just capitalize the word 'capitalism'? WTF dude
Also what do you mean with devices? Any browser can go to google, so even ipad/iphone users can join google+ (once they got enough bandwidth since 99% of those that tried it left again, aka 'next week')
Or did you mean devices as in 'social communication system' where you have to be member of to communicate with the others? Because then you have a bit of a point there, but I'm OK with not using facebook (or G+) for instance myself, in fact I feel I'm ahead of the pack by not being one of the drones.
Although it is starting to get a bit annoying that for normal google use you need more and more access to a settings page which you barely do when you don't sign into google, but hey there's bing and such too if it becomes too bothersome of course so I guess one can't complain.
@joe well since you spent 3 rimes as much time writing that comment (unless you are a very very slow reader) I guess you have time to waste anyway huh.
As for your point, naming the rumor and the source and its reputation = keeping it real, and keeping you in the know since now if your aunt or a BBC reporter tell you the story you know that it does not have a 100% reliability rather than mistakable storing it as a fact.
you nailed the Daily Mail down to a T
Devices used to develop exclusive access to a social network may be sound Capitalism but as this process develops, creating the class society, it seriously erodes the very basic differentiation between democracy or representative society and the failed European monarchic ones we fought a revolution over.
So you story is basically, "So Mark Zuckerberg joined Google+, but probably not!" Wow. Great story. Thanks for wasting a minute of my life.
