James Whittaker is a guy living in backward way. Quitting innovative Google and joined half alive and half dead Microsoft.
His rants about Google+ sound interesting and make good point:
I couldn’t even get my own teenage daughter to look at Google+ twice, “social isn’t a product,” she told me after I gave her a demo, “social is people and the people are on Facebook.” Google was the rich kid who, after having discovered he wasn’t invited to the party, built his own party in retaliation. The fact that no one came to Google’s party became the elephant in the room.

Like Facebook's new feature Timeline. BTW, FB I reckon is good for business to have more exposure to public.
