Originally and it seemed to work as I wanted it to work, this business of linking online accounts (profiles), or more precisely, elements of these acount services, seemed like a really good idea, the natural order of the next flow, if u will, the logical way that information of a kind might b seeming to go.
It seemed to work best for me when Google and Apple were aligned to a common goal (for want of better articulation), and Eric Schmidt sat on the Apple board.
I never really gave it much thought...it all just seemed to work seemlessly and in the mobile world of information, (cell phones) I kept getting pleasantly enlightened, periodically and I was in love, so to speak.
Over time, and I am fully aware of personal user constraints here..things have changed and now I do think about this...invariably because I'm having to look for s work around which is time consuming...
