This is completely whack!

We use Google Apps to host our company email, documents, calendars etc etc since years. Over the previous months Google has been nagging about switching our domain’s accounts to Google accounts. So now, when we sign in on our Google Apps for our domain we have to sign out of our Gmail accounts. Fair enough! Makes a lot of sense to me. I actually (somewhat) like it! 

Here’s the drama…

Now they’ve come up with Google+. Sounds super exciting, with all the buzz going on about it. I have been getting invites. When I see my peers’ Google+ profiles, I want one too! Oh look, there’s a “You+” link > top left. 

Brilliant! I’ll click it…

But hey, there’s a problem here. Google says… 

Google Profiles is not available for your organization

So now what do I do? Poor feedback from Google doesn’t guide me to any solution. Possibly expecting that I am a power user of sorts who can figure it out on my own. Well I did. There isn’t much that can be done, but wait for it to happen.

But what about all the other users of my domain.

I know for a fact all accept 2 of them are going to get lost, and will be probing those 2 or me as to what they should do now. 

Bottom line: I am extremely disappointed.
