Chat, document collaboration, and video conferencing using services like Google+ Hangouts or Facebook's Skype are seductive additions to an IT arsenal. But a lot of people have privacy concerns about these services, and there's no shortage of horror stories how these sites track and exploit their users' habits. Would you work for a company that forced its employees to join a social network?"

You two are really obsessed with each other.. you should really get a room.
I know what you're thinking: that's stupid.. we're both guys, and I'm not gay.
You're confused about your sexuality, and you're feelings for each other. You're concerned about your repressed latent homosexuality.
But this 2012, and most people are ok with other peoples sexual orientation.
So please, will you two just hook up already? The rest of us are getting tired of this BS.

Why any company would trust sensitive internal information to Google is beyond me.
Why not? They already have it, anyway - I just did a search and found it.
No joke - one place I worked, the best way to find out what was really going on was stick some key executives' names in Google and see what turned up. (No, no criminal records, amazingly enough.)

Tell them you have dissociative identity disorder and if they won't respect that, all of you will file a class action lawsuit.

I've told ya once, if you would look at my comment history you would see that i'm Australian.
Judging by the fact you've included me in your list of 'Known puppet accounts' i highly doubt the credibilty of the rest of your list.
Unless you are a puppet without knowing it. Ever seen the Manchurian Candidate?

Hi,
I just want to let you know that you'll probably get modded -1 flamebait, troll or off-topic for these types of posts.
That has nothing to do with your annoying posts or the fact that they are completely offtopic.
It's because most of us are actually puppet accounts by this guy you're bitching about and negative moderations only proof you are right.
You're not paranoid, we (by which I mean all the puppet accounts, which are really just one person) ARE out to get you.
Thank you for your time.
