from the nonplussed dept.

A sigh of relief has been heard across the Internet as behemoth Google has finally relented in it's ever intruding necessity to have a Google+ account from every service and function from signing up for Gmail to posting comments on YouTube.

From Slate to The Verge and everywhere in between there is dancing in the streets as Google finally got the message... no, not today Google, I don't want Plus. Plus will not be going away, it will become it's own property, left to stand on it's own, and unhooked from every Google service under the sun.

    I think it'll catch on, that G# moniker, as long as it is cross-functional between applications. Most importantly, I believe that Glassholes can use a sharp g-pounding! Everyone else can go get pounded by Google, too, if they haven't already.

    I'm more inclined to believe that this is a G♭ moment myself.
