"Robert Scoble, you asked for it. Under Calendar Settings>General Automatically add invitations to my calendar: - Yes - Yes, but don't send event reminders unless I have responded "Yes" or "Maybe" - No, only show invitations to which I have responded Check the settings, dumbfuck. "
But, man, talk about being over the top. It's Google's products that he's using for free. They don't owe anything to him. His rant does more damage to his character than to Google's profits, IMO.
EDIT: It goes without saying that I prefer Will Wheaton's post much more than Scoble's. And he's not 'freaking out' as Scoble claims.
At least Google could have asked the top users on G+ before releasing this. Is that hard to do? You suppose not to alienate your users, especially when something you are competing against (Facebook) is already established and you want those users.
I still think he was being childish and over the top, though.
So how do you feel about Facebook's email fuckup?
I mean, do people seriously expect these things not to happen? We don't have absolute control over these things. These companies only give us the illusion of control so we can make them some cash, at the end of the day.
