I know I'm a bitch for laughing that an article about Linked In inflating its usage figures is posted on Google+.



The irony wasn't missed. It was just the first place that sprung to mind to write at length on the topic.


Surely the fact it's posted from there indicates that the whole "its a ghost town, they're just lying" meme might be obviously false?


Remember that meme that was going around about social media and donuts? Twitter: I am eating a #donut ... Instagram: Here's a heavily post-processed picture of the donut I just ate ... Facebook: I Like donuts! ... Google+: I am a Google employee who likes donuts!

It's cruel and exaggerated, but like most successful (?) jokes it contains just enough truth.


Why do you posit that?
