Social network failures

Really, Google? REALLY?

I thought we'd had this talk before.

Remember when you started up your horrible Circle thing or whatever it was and automatically added everyone I'd ever emailed in the history of my life, whether I actually liked them or not, to my circle?

Remember how I freaked out at you and screamed about it, then turned Circles off with a vicious click and broke up with you for a while? Apparently it didn't make a big enough impression.

WHAT THE CRAP IS THIS?

Google, when you get up in the morning, do you immediately think to yourself boy, I hope I'll accidentally trip over an ex-boyfriend's name while innocently perusing the news? NO, YOU DON'T. In fact, you probably think about ways to downrank the names of everyone you've ever dated so that they never ever show up in even purposeful searches.

This would actually explain why I can't seem to find several people. Google formerly dated them too.

Slightly bigger, for more rage value.

For those who don't know, that right there is my first ex-fiancé. Yes, I have more than one. Basically I'm Elizabeth Taylor without the money or the acting talent. When I moused over his name, it informed me that "You are connected to Steve Terjeson on Gmail." My first thought was a barely coherent AAAAUUUGH! Mostly because this makes Gmail sound like some sort of long-distance sex facilitator.

I hate you so much sometimes, Google.
