Why I left Google  

I think Google+ is an effort that does not deserve the engineering minds at Google. This is mostly a personal bias. I see Google as solving legitimately difficult technological problems, not doing stupid things like cloning Facebook. Google, in my opinion, lost sight of what was important when they went down this rabbit hole.

SPENCER TIPPING on why he left Google

Google has embarked on a journey, they have committed to an idea they believe is right for them. And like Mr. Tipping, when the time comes they too will hand in their notice.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
