Google Plus and usability (part 2): no way to hide people

31.07.2011 (7:21 pm) – Filed under: googleplus,News

This is the second post in the series  Google Plus and usability.

Here is the first post: Part 1

In Facebook, there is a way to hide the post from certain people to reach your News Feed, without stopping being friend with them.

How can you hide the posts from someone in G+?

You can exclude them from a circle and to block them. But they can find out that you removed them from a circle.

So, not the same effect.

G+ has still to improve here.

Pardon for Enigma code-breaker Alan Turing

My friend John Graham-Cumming has started a petition to force the UK government to officially ask a post-mortem pardon to Alan Turing, the father of the modern computers and the breaker of the nazis’ Enigma code.
Here is an interview about this topic.

This post has been inspired by John’s post here.

Is there something wrong going on with Facebook at the time I publish this post?

The website behaves abnormally slow and I had to click 2-3 time on some buttons until the changes were applied.

If somebody received from me 2 (or more) invitations to connect, sorry… it is from this strange effect.

Initially I thought it is from my laptop, but it isn’t.
