Yesterday I joined Google Plus, but only because I was forced to and I did it under protest. I keep up with blogs using Feedly. Apparently Google and Feedly have made some sort of agreement that you can't log into Feedly except if you log in via your Google Plus account. So I set up an account and disabled every setting I could find. I expect those of you who belong to Google Plus will see Chilly Hollow is a member but I plan to never use the system. I'm not even setting up a Google Plus button on Blog. I don't like Facebook-like sharing of information and I sure don't like being forced to join these things as the price of using free services like Feedly.
I plan to research alternatives and when/if I find one, I'll delete the Google Plus and Feedly accounts. This is just to let folks who belong to either system know that they might see my name but hopefully they will never see anything else there.
I have a feeling that this is not the last time Google tries to force me into programs I don't want. Maybe I'd better research WordPress (which I loathed when I tried it) in case I have to move Blog.
Just FYI
