Until Google Apps support is released, I find it unlikely that Steve's error here will be encountered by many other users. Most Google+ users don't have access to a separate instance of Google+ to trip them up.

I also think it is unbelievably foolish to suggest that "Google+ adoption" needs attention because of this. Why on Earth would you judge inherently aggregate metrics based on a single individual mistake?

Shouldn't everyone at Google be an experienced Google+ user by this point?

Google has so many products, how would you expect a typical, hard-working employee to actively use all of them? They just wouldn't get any work done.

When their bonus is tied to the success of the company in social software, you'd expect them to use it. No? If Google is trying to make an identity play, shouldn't identity start at home?

Steve Yegg doesn't use Twitter either.

If he was someone who was active on Twitter then yes, you'd have point. Otherwise...

Most people make enough money to not need a bonus, so they might value spending their time not caring about Google+. I could make a lot more money as a hitman than as a programmer, but for some reason I choose programming.
