There could be trouble ahead... third party logins...

Allen Firstenberg A snippet from an Ars Technica piece. They mention something I haven't even thought about:

 

Google says that third-party sites and apps that use the Google+ login button will stop working "in the coming weeks" and that third parties should switch to the non-Google+ version of Google's sign-in button

 

Other stuff than Google's could stop working too... who remembers if I used a G+ ID to login on some service, a few years back? Google put that nice simple little "let buddy Google take care if this" button all over the internet. This, could be a very BIG problem for Google. People will run into unexpected stuff, and there is only one entity to blame for this.

 

Also, somewhere in that article the tech journalist geek says quoting Google "users will still be able to see some of their stuff in activity logs" … Seriously? Go ask Non-Geek Joe Average to show you his activity log...

 

That right there is the fundamental problem. Geeks think normal people read activity logs on their machines...
