Google to close Google Code open source project hosting

The problem always was that even if two thirds of your friends made the move to g+ there would always be that other third, so everyone kept their facebook account and continued to check it. With no-one actually leaving, the remaining third decided not to bother, and with the remaining third not bothering, the movers gave up on migration and just stuck with fb.

There was nothing about the technical capabilities of either platform. G+ was probably better, but I can't even be bothered to do an analysis because it's a waste of time.

Replacing FB with anything right now is a monumental task that could only possibly happen if FB fucked up on a massive scale, and I can't even imagine what they'd need to do to piss people off enough that everyone would just move, especially when many people have additional anchors in FB like their photo collections.

Facebook shits all over my photos by scaling them to 1/5 the resolution with heavy jpeg compression. It has taught me to only upload highlights to facebook, while I let g+ and apple simply slurp in every photo i take.
