A Blunder that Google and Amy made

A boring morning, I  woke up from a call from none other than my blog partner & a good friend “amy”. I chit-chatted with him strolling in my house while discussing potential topics for our blog & plans for valentines and my desire to learn guitar blah blah. Two hours later, I visited my google+ profile after about a month and saw some blunder made by him. It was amy’s day I guess (as he was being the focus of my day). Amy, unaware of the google’s new policy commented on a saucy youtube video about a month ago & his comment appeared on his G+ profile while he had no idea about this. 


The raunchy video:A stranger kisses 3 girls at mall

The comment he made goes like this
“wow! The second girl was amazing....It took me three months to do what he did in just 20 mins.” 

My first reaction was O freak, his life is in danger!, I was rolling in the aisles. I texted him immediately that does he knows about Google’s such policy?. In my mind I could imagine him rushing to his lappie to delete the mess. Generally he sleeps in the afternoon, But it must be blown away. I teased him a lot on this(still doing that). 
Now again a call was made to discuss the consequences that this would have caused if I wouldn't have notice it and you know what I made good business out of this whole saga. I am rewarded with “guitar classes”- A childhood dream come true 

Yayyyyyyyyyyy! Lucky Me!! ;) [I won’t spare you amy]

With all this one thing is sure in desperate attempts of google+ to come into limelight by hook or crook , some innocent lives are endangered. This is not fair Google!!

The most noticeable change with this new integration is the comment system, where users now must comment using their Google Plus profiles, which more often than not their real names. Other issues include new comment notifications being delivered to a user’s Google Plus inbox instead of their YouTube inbox, top comments supposedly being from people you tangentially know on G+, and the constant pressure to change your YouTube account name to your real name & also posing a potential threat to unaware people’s life.
They should understand that anonymity is the principle on which internet works. Now just imagine google publishing search history of a person on G+ wouldn't that be catastrophic! 
Now after this amy is on a hunt to find a “victim” who has committed the same mistake unknowingly.  Next spicy story of someone coming soon by him..stay tuned! 
(And Amy hope to see you at my place with guitar soon) 


The epic conversation which took place.
