Why is Google hiding their "real name" requirement from new users?
You should read the whole thing.
Google has been adamant from day one that everyone must use their “real” name on Google+. They have suspended the accounts of people they personally invited to the service. They have forced their employees to use their legal names instead of the ones they are known by to their friends. They have suspended the same users multiple times because their names looked fake. They have done this continuously since Google+ was launched, and they have done it despite the fact that the suspension process has had bugs (which they have only mentioned in passing to the press) that have caused people to permanently lose access to data on other Google services. They continue to suspend accounts even though it means that Google users are losing access to services like Buzz, Reader, and Picasa that they had before they signed up for Google+.
In short, if you’ve signed up for Google+ with a pseudonym or odd name, you run a serious risk of ending up losing data and services.So why isn’t Google telling new users not to use pseudonyms? -
TRY TO SAVE A LIFE
Not enough evidence to execute Troy Davis… but the State of Georgia plans to do it anyway…
While I have been unable to get through to the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles, I was told by Governor Dean’s office that the State Constitution says only the GSBPP and the State Supreme Court, can stay executions in Georgia. If you would like to attempt calling to petition the GSBPP to stay the execution of Troy Davis, here is the number Governor Dean’s office provided:
Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles: 404-656-5651
I found the phone number for the State Supreme Court on their website:
Georgia State Supreme Court: 404-656-3470

This is just a test…
Figured it’s about time I fired up a tumblr account and evaluate the service. ;)
