Google+ really doesn't get retweeting, does it. That whole post is written by someone who isn't the one in the photos at the top. A single "originally shared" link points to the original.

Retweeting was a genius move by twitter, a post by someone you don't follow appears in your timeline and it looks like any other and attribution is perfectly captured.




Totally agree. As things are currently, wouldn't it be best if the story link was to the actual original post?

My guess is that the comments on this one led to it being posted here (there is discussion from Linus and others down there.)


Yup. And Kay Sievers has another clone of the story, with a (quite unapologetic) comment of his own: https://plus.google.com/+KaySievers/posts/3cWXzYqB6MB
