I HATE google plus!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep another dummy spit.......getting pretty good at these lately.............

The other day Feedly announced changes we had to login in to google plus to get into our accounts......... 
very quicky they had a massive backlash and reversed it...........THANKYOU Feedly......

Today I tried to comment on Melanie's blog Pinnylea Creations now I am not sure if she has changed her blog or settings or I have not commented for quite some time but I had to sign up to google plus if I wanted to comment..................
NO WAY AM I GOING TO GOOGLE PLUS
I will avoid it for as long as possible..............most people don't want to go there either.........
I tried to go to her profile and email her from there but it goes to a google plus profile so can't do that either............
they want google plus overtake social media like facebook and we all know what I think of Facebook!!!
I HATE GOOGLE PLUS..........
wished Google would listen to us like Feedly listens to it's customers
.........take care til next time.....Chookyblue.........

I don't think it is reasonable to have to sign up for something just to comment on a blog.... silly...

I agree - as a follower of a blog we like we should be able to comment without all the hassle!

EvalinaMaria said...

That makes two of us! I hate Google plus too, with a passion.

Marilyn said...

I am with you on that too. It is annoying to not be able to comment or access an email addy. I will resist for as long as I can.

Hello Donna,

I don't understand the concept behind Google plus. Maybe someone who uses this will give some details among the comments. Now if only the politicians would listen to us like the people at Feedly did!!!

Enjoy your day Donna.
Bev.

Oops-Lah said...

yes I'm with you on this one. Why do they have to change things that are working perfectly fine, I ask you????

Google Plus is a pain in my arse. I don't understand it; therefore I don't like it.

I'm with you on this one Chooky. There are a couple of blogs I would love to comment on but won't due to this reason. I hope its not one of those things that happen automatically though. Not sure. Must check my blog to see.

debbie said...

I also tried to comment on the same blog yesterday and gave up when I saw there was no other way to do it without signing up for Google+. I tried it before and didn't like it either. xx debbie

I am so with you on this one. There are a few blogs that I would love to comment on but Nope, not if I have to sign into Google Plus! I also can not reply to some comments left from the same people as again it is requested that I sign in to do so. Not happening!

Hi Donna, Melanie's setting have been like that for quite some time now; I know this because she commented on my blog a while back & i couldn't reply to her because of the google+ issue, nor could i get to her blog because of it. There is another blog i read which has the same thing, so i can't Comment there either. it's such a shame - to see a blog that is full of great posts and wonderful stitching to see, but not a single Comment published to it.
It's especially annoying after FNSI or FNWF... surely if you are blogging, you want visitors & Comments on it, why make it impossible to do so?!?!?

I think that a lot of people set themselves up on google+ and don't realise that their settings for it are blocking the ability of non-google+ folks from Commenting. It's clear they are a bit confused as to why they are not getting so many visitors or Comments, because it gets written about in their posts. I also know that some bloggers (inc Shez, FionaBubz & Wendy Sugarlane) use google+ but it doesn't interfere with a person's ability to Comment on their blogs, so it must be something to do with settings

i don't want to have to sign in to some other thing just to leave a blog comment, I am already signed in to my own blog and reading from there.... and that SHOULD be enough, in my opinion.
Rant Over...

Narelle said...

So that explains why I couldn't leave a comment on a blog yesterday ... :(

Peg - Happy In Quilting said...

Came across this the other day...had no idea what was happening....LOL..why do they keep changing things I am getting too old for this!!!!

chrisi said...

loulee said...

I'm with you on that one. I did try Google plus, but back peddled FAST as I could. Hated it.

gracie said...

I learned a lot today reading your post and the comments. Sometimes I think it is me that I cannot comment! I am finding that I have to sign in for google all the time now.."PIA" is what it is!

Sandy said...

I'll order a couple of inches of rain for you Chooky and that will cure all ills! I rarely comment but certainly wouldn't be if I had to sign up to something else that I don't understand!

Noela said...

I so agree. It's a pain. Hugs.....

Queen Of The Armchair aka Dzintra Stitcheries said...

I also can't get if to some blogs because go google plus!

Thimbleanna said...

Hmmm. I can't remember if you like facebook? I HATE facebook. And Google Plus. All of them. They're so messy and full of stupid ads. I only like blogs. And Instagram. LOL.

Deb said...

okay now I know why I am getting all these google plus requests. it seems there is never ending change.

Diane-crewe said...

SO with you on this one xx

West Michigan Quilter said...

I've of too many people having problems with Google+ I'm sure not going there.

Carole said...

CANNOT stand google+. I like the blogger profile, which lets you see the persons blogs. I liked googles original home page much better. Sigh. Change is NOT always good. Wishing for lots of rain your way. I just can't believe how long this has been going. Cheers

Rachaeldaisy said...

I hate Google Plus too!! I always feel a bit cheated when I end up on someones google plus page. Good on you for letting us air our thoughts!

Jodie said...

Here, here!!! :)

Anorina @SameliasMum said...

I'm not a fan of Google plus either. It's very unfriendly.
