I'm looking to add some reviews and information on places i frequent to google, on the places section and maps etc. now i do have a google account as i have an android phone and also a nickname, i do not however have a public profile, and id rather not have one. my question is can i still review places and edit details without having a public profile

Google+ is kinda ok, you can limit it to 0 information about yourself I think. It has cool multiuser video hangouts though...

yeah auto added i think (which i think was a little naughty) because i had no idea and things were being shared i didn't know about.

But it's alright now.

But yeah, google+ i don't think it will ever take off really tbh!*

*yes i know, states! =))

I Agree in its current State, But in the Conference they done they went into a lot of detail of stuff thats to come to it,

Some of the things are an invasion of Privacy, but its all able to disable,
For an example i walk into a bar, then my Profile would Auto Update and state where i am, and also notifiy my friend where i am.

Its got alot of stuff to do with Retail and Marketing too.

It will be interesting what comes of it down the line, but its a long way of yet from what they where saying
