Even if it was good, the fact that they wrote Google Plus and not Google+ tells me how much thought they put into this article

I was an early user of it and, unlike a lot of Google projects, there's a reason they scrapped it: it sucked.

    And we're still stuck with its aftermath in that search engines require quotes rather than a + for requiring words, which they now ignore whenever the mood strikes.

    Why?

    Because some fuckwit at Google decided that the + was reserved for Google+ search results.
