An incredible change is occurring with Abercrombie & Fitch and they have nothing they can do about it.
There’s a guy giving Abercrombie & Fitch a brand readjustment by giving their clothes to the homeless.
You can watch the short video here.
By all means, participate in the activity, but the activity isn’t exactly what I’m writing about.
Did you notice at the end of the video he suggested that you share the video on Google+ “if you actually use it.” That should frighten people not using Google+. It certainly concerns me.
It’s not the first time people have joked about Google+. And after the frustration of needing a Google+ account to use YouTube, there’s even more hatred directed at it.
Yet, the more we (yes, I’m guilty) hate on Google+, the more Google+ establishes its niche. We are reinforcing the idea of those using Google+ are “in” and anyone else who didn’t push through Google+’s low, doesn’t deserve their attention.
You can look at Google+ like the rich girl analogy made by Kate Knibbs,
“Google+ is like that rich girl with all of the coolest toys who tries to throw a party but everyone’s already made plans to hang out at their usual place and besides, she’s getting a little too eager. And although the numbers do indicate that there is a growing interest in using the network, they may be grossly exaggerating how many people consider Google+ a social media destination.”
Or, you can expect the rich girl to begin inviting the average kids, the drifters, those she doesn’t know and doesn’t have plans. That can be quite a number. And if the rich girl so wishes, she can resent all those who didn’t give her place a try instead of their “usual place.”
You’re better off getting “in” now, even if you have to develop a dual personality. You might not be let in later.
