Re: OT: Google Plus

[John]

I thought it was legit from the get-go. I mentioned it here only because so many 
of us were early adopters of Google+.


Google+ never did me any harm, so I don't see any point in me joining the 
"settlement".

Re: OT: Google Plus

[John]

I think the suit has already been settled. The notification came from Google.

If I read it correctly, there are four actual plaintiffs who stand to get $1500 
each; any other Google+ user who files a claim to join the "class" will get 
somewhere between $5 and $12 and the lawyers' fee is 25% of the "class" payout 
up to a maximum of $200,000.


Like you, I don't see where I lost anything from Google+, so I'm not going to 
file either.


But I thought it was interesting because so many here on the list were on 
Google+ while it lasted.

coupLe of bucks each and the lawyers will pocket millions.

I received it.  I tried Google + for a couple of days, but then stopped
using it.  I don't think I will file a claim.
