Over the past several days, a number of Google “annoyances” have cropped up…. sometimes it is amazing where a company like Google chooses to put its head…. that I wanted to get off my chest.<\/p>\n

1- Did you know that Google’s bulk upload, even though upgraded multiple times with a raft of new ownership<\/a>, management<\/a> and social<\/a> features still has a 200 character limit to the description field<\/a>? Only known solution: open every G+ Page and upgrade the description manually. Even the few companies that have access to the G+ Plus API and that manage bulk uploads can’t affect this field. \u00a0How lame is that?<\/p>\n

2- Google obviously put a lot of work into the new guidelines<\/a> and the examples. And in many cases made things much more clear. Kudos.<\/p>\n

But then why do they need to obfuscate things like virtual office guidelines?<\/p>\n
