Google doesn't like it when several people share an account. Thus, it now categorically refuses to have our profile name on Google+ (yeah, we're giving it a try) be "Sara & Jonathan Jerdan" or the like, and it is now simply "Sara Jerdan" even though I use it too, although I do believe Sara is more active on it than I. Also, they don't like it when people change names too often, so say we decided to pretend, for usability's sake, we were one person with the combined first name Jonathan-Sara for example, or say we wanted to display the first name Sara and middle name Jonathan, well too bad, have to wait 30 days before we can change it away from Sara Jerdan.
Really Google? You made online maps so simple to play around with (anyone remember Mapquest? what a drag), you made email boxes simple to use and customize, document sharing is now a breeze. But you don't have the flexibility to accept the word "and" in a profile name? -1
Then the :-)
The hangout feature in Google+ is very nice. Video-chatting is quick and possible with multiple people at once. And where it exceeded my expectations is that it is possible for one account to join a hangout from two different computers at the same time! They do allow that. So if in spite of all the big G's efforts two people were to share an account, they can video-chat with each other when they're not in the same place. Pretty nifty! +1
