>    Lauren Weinstein believes Google has already created an
>    alternative to Facebook's "sick ecosystem": Google Plus.
>    "There are no ads on Google+. Nobody can buy their way into
>    your feed or pay Google for priority. Google doesn't
>    micromanage what you see. Google doesn't sell your personal
>    information to any third parties..." And most importantly,
>    "There's much less of an emphasis on hanging around with those
>    high school nitwits whom you despised anyway, and much more a
>    focus on meeting new persons from around the world for
>    intelligent discussions... G+ posts more typically are about
>    'us' -- and tend to be far more interesting as a result."
>    (Even Linus Torvalds is already reviewing gadgets there.)
