Mark Zuckerberg Is On Google+ (But He Doesn’t Look Happy About It)

I wouldn't either, if I were them.

Y'know how facebook causes every random annoying person from your past, from kindergarten onwards, to try to wend their way back into your life? Imagine that plus being a billionaire.

"Oh hi Larry, remember me from Mrs Gwinchin's math class, that sure was a long time ago ha ha. So I hear you're a billionaire now! Can I have a million dollars? Ha ha ha, just kidding. No I'm serious, I have a sick kid. Ha ha ha ha, still kidding. Though I do have a sick kid and the medical bills are killing me :(. Anyway let me know if you're ever in town and we'll go for a drink. You're buying! Ha ha just kidding"

Sergey has one under a psudonym which his friends know about (Stephen Levy mentioned it recently)

It's possible it's a reused Google Talk picture; it looks kind of low res/grainy. A few of my friends on Google+ have low res profile pictures and they are all old pictures from Google Talk.

Nope. He wants to look frightened for some reason.

Never really understood how you can "ripoff" an idea. Technology or even design but an idea? I am not so sure. That is a problem, people need to stay clear from that notion. I agree with the cherry picking though, it would make sense. You are not going to turn a blind eye to the competition.
