[Quora.com] How Google+ Shows That Google Still Doesn't Understand Social

by Philip Ryan Johnson
In July of 2010, I wrote a brief answer stating that then-Googler Paul Adams' internal presentation about social (see: http://venturebeat.com/2010/07/0...) indicated that the state-of-the-art in thinking about social inside Google was much further behind than previously thought (see: Yishan Wong's answer to Should Facebook be worried about Google Me?). Rebekah Cox concurred with me in the comments and a few other people asked us to elaborate. We declined to at the time, because it's complicated.

However, this week, Google's early release of Google+ demonstrates why.

Let's first crack some myths:

FRONTLINE: Digital Nation: Life on the Virtual Frontier [Watch Online]

by Philip Ryan Johnson
via pbs.org

I love Frontline. They produce some of the best journalism and each episode is always on a strikingly relevant topic.

Their February 2nd episode digital_nation is no different, which poses the question, "Is our 24/7 wired world causing us to lose as much as we've gained?"

In Digital Nation: Life on the Virtual Frontier, Frontline presents an in-depth exploration of what it means to be human in a 21st-century digital world... [and] embarks on a journey to understand the implications of living in a world consumed by technology and the impact that this constant connectivity may have on future generations.

You can watch the full 90-minute episode online now for free at PBS or Hulu.
