has a "Google Cloud Platform Developers" Google+ page!

This is a good way to track news and events, including our Hangout/office
hours times, interesting articles and codelabs, etc.
It's also a good way to see what's going on with related Google
technologies, such as BigQuery and Google Cloud Storage.

No offense I'm sure it is awesome. But don't you think y'all are a little
scattered?  
I mean there is the discussion pages/forum, Stack Over Flow, 4 issues bug
trackers, a support form, 6 blogs.

 

That's before I point out that Google Plus rules say you have to be a
person, so google is using its own products in ways that conflict with their
own usage policies?

 

I'm glad you want to be reachable. But I'd rather have one place where I
know I can get an answer than 40, and some of those being pages with
nonsensical URLs that are impossible to remember and don't appear in search.

Re: [google-appengine] new Google Cloud Platform Developers Google+ page

2012-09-03 Thread Amy Unruh
We appreciate everyone's input, as always. :)
The Google+ page is geared towards posting of news, announcements
(including Hangout announcements), and pointers to articles, blog posts,
etc.; rather than Stack Overflow-type support or issue tracking.
Its topics encompass the larger Google Cloud Platform, not just App Engine.

RE: [google-appengine] new Google Cloud Platform Developers Google+ page

2012-09-03 Thread Drake
Stick to a blog. Give it a friendly URL. Have an RSS feed. 

 

The fact that it is multiple products makes it even less appealing to
friend.  You are asking us to "Friend" a group of products that could expand
to products we don't use, may never use and have our information shared with
those product groups.  This raises the signal to noise ratio, hurts our
personal privacy, and is generally not a happy thing.

 

Do it right. Post hang out announcements to the Lists for the products, Let
people subscribe to you on Youtube. Air the hangouts on Youtube, moderate
the questions and answers there, (and the hangout and the IRC and the
twitter, and the... )  Are you seeing why this is a convoluted mess?  To get
support I now have to be on 10 platforms and track you on each to know when
I can get support.

 

More support in more places = Less support that is harder to find, track,
and respond to.

 

When there was one place for each product support was good. It has gone
downhill every time a new thing was added.
