The fact that he didn't mean to post this is proof enough that G+ sucks. And he's spot on about everything he said. Google doesn't get platforms at all. Look what happened to Blogger, arguably their most successful platform (which they didn't even build).

Is it really proof? I have used G+ only a handful of times, but posting has been incredibly simple -- to classify who should see your post you click in a box and select the groups who should have access to it. One of them is "Public."

I'm struggling to see how someone intelligent enough to work at Google could not figure this out. Perhaps it was just an error caused by posting too quickly, or it wasn't an error at all.

He was probably tired and didn't see what he was doing. I was joking about that part. But it does suck
