I have the same reaction as you do most days. Oh well, sure glad I checked that! (not). Google+ is actually the opposite. There is such a tech focus from the people I follow that there are demo videos, technical papers, etc that I want to read but don't. Certainly not this, I'm happy because other people are, nonsense.
