This is a cursory, &#8220;first impressions&#8221; post about the latest social networking craze, Google+.
Facebook should be very concerned.  So should LinkedIn.  Google&#8217;s latest foray into social networking has all the hallmarks of a Facebook-esque social network but with safety and security at the forefront of the user experience.  Maybe they&#8217;ve learned from the failed Google [...]]]></description>

Where do I start?
I&#8217;ve been joking recently about having three full-time jobs.  I&#8217;ve been employed by the Victorian Government in my current role for nearly seven years. This has been hugely rewarding and I have enjoyed the job immensely.  It&#8217;s a job which involves shift work, overtime, on-call duties, and accounts for a [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s the occasional smirk-worthy video, there&#8217;s the all-too-common blatant copyright ripoff, and there&#8217;s a heap of garbage which you BACK or NEXT after the first few seconds. I&#8217;m certain that I&#8217;m guilty of posting each of these [...]]]></description>
