Alas, that doesn't include me anymore. I dropped that Canonical product after the "Buttons stay on the left!" fiasco. Which was fortunate as it saved me the Unity mess. I wonder how many former Ubuntu users also thought "Meh". |

I wouldn't exactly stop the presses for this particular item. This is probably the biggest yawner of the decade, since on the day that story was posted, Google+ allowed groups to have pages. So Ubuntu joins just about every other group on the entire planet starting a page on Google+ and posting it to various circles. I got about 200 invites for groups on Google+ that day, Ubuntu being one of them. |

"This is probably the biggest yawner of the decade" Buzz not withstanding... |

Quoting: I have a google+ page too. And probably more hits, given their falling stats at Distrowatch... |

Now that non-people (companies, brands, products, interests) can get a Google+ page, everybody is making announcements like this. |

@Steven_Rosenber and Koriel, Absolutely spot on! Like Facebook, you don't have to actually get PEOPLE to actually _use_ Google+, you just have to temporarily get those "non-people" to throw up G+ pages for just enough status-symbol time until the next "big thing" comes around. IIRC, the 1st static-type all-HTML webpages were the first status symbols to become big in this regard. Just my 2c here. |
