I mean, as you have a Google account, and fill in G+ profile, you are a G+ person. You start building your cycles, adding people you know (or even don’t know), and posting to individuals, cycles, or Public.
You can also create one or more G+ pages. What is G+ page? It has confused me for long. Now I know, it is a kind of G+ person, same as you. It was the terminology “Follow” confused me.
I only find “Follow” on G+ pages. However, “Follow” basically is adding this G+ page to your cycle(s), same as adding some real person. G+ page can also add you to its cycle(s), or not to add you, same as a real person makes such a choice. Even G+ page does not add you, you can still see all its Public posts in your cycle stream, seem as you add President but President does not add you.
A real person can add another real person or a G+ page to his cycle(s). A G+ page can also add another G+ page or a real person to its cycle(s). This conforms to G+ page is a person.
Since a real person can create as many G+ pages as he like, and G+ pages can add each other, which make things worse. I mean, a messy social network sharing loads of rubbish.
Nevertheless, I can not change the world. A network full of rubbish is not something I should worry too much about. What I can do is not to produce rubbish.
I hope this post is not regarded as a kind of rubbish.
我今天才意识到，Google 域用户 Google Drive 共享设置里的 People at some domain find and view / find and edit，指的是用 link 去 find。我一直误以为是可以按 keyword 去 find，或许它会自动出现在域内所有用户的 Shared with me 列表里。
Google drive share setting
如果做域内用户共享，应该手动发送 link 给他们；任何一个用户访问过该 link 以后，他的账号会出现在 Who has access 列表里。
如果手动添加用户账号在 Who has access 里，他才能在 Shared with me 里看到该共享资源。这大概是 Shared with me 之所以叫 Shared with me 而不叫 Shared with us 的原因吧。
My client is asking a way to manage 3 WordPress sites in one place. I could use WordPress multisite feature by creating a network of sites. However, I felt difficult to control those sites when WordPress multisite was turned on. I would rather have those sites installed into separate databases but have a SSO feature. It is actually what my client is asking for.
I started looking for a social login plugin for WordPress. I shortlisted four plugins.
Social login plugins for WordPress
Social Login
Social Login for wordpress (LoginRadius)
Social Login & Social Sharing by Janrain (Janrain Engage)
WordPress Social Login (WP Social Login)
All installation, I found the first three plugins require create an account with a federal login service provider site of the author, I assume. Although a basic account accommodate 2,500 users or less is free, I do not want to create such an account. It adds risk – everyone can not login if the federal login service provider server is down. Meanwhile, social login is to eliminate create more and more account. I do not want to achieve this goal by creating an intermediate account myself.
Luckily, I have the forth plugin – WordPress Social Login. It asks me to create Application ID and Applicate Secret with each login service provider. That is what I was expecting.
It is a coincidence that all the first three social login plugins sit themselves in a top level menu in WordPress sidebar. Are they so important? I am not an aggressive person and I do not like aggressive software.
WP Social Login modestly sit under Setting menu. That is the way I like!
In June, 2012 I visited the O2 shop in 49 George Street, Hove, BN3 3YB, enqurying about opening an account and getting two Samsung S3 mobile phones. David told me I could get the phones virtually free by paying £99.99 upfront and he would credit me £100 into my account for each phone. I still keep his written notes, luckily. O2 credit promise
On the next day or two, I revisited the shop. I paid £199.98 for two phones. Christina went through the contract procedure with me. She was fully aware of the £200 credit. However, she told me, she could not add £200 to my account while I was there, because I was porting the numbers from Vodafone to O2. She had to wait a few days until the porting process finished and then my account was active. She said she would add £200 credit in a few days. So I left the shop with two new phones happily.
I have no way to check if O2 has put £200 into my account or not. Only at the time O2 monthly direct debit shows on the bank statement, I know the credit has not been credited. I started tracing the credit in August, 2012. At first, I thought it is a piece of cake to get it back. I did not trace O2 hard. I popped into the O2 shop occasionally when I was on George Street for something else. Sometime I had chance to speak to David, sometime I did not. David never denied his promise – how can he? I am glad I have not thrown away these pieces of little notes.
David asked me at least twice to write down my company name, address, account number, contact number. He always said someone would contact me. From my ten times visits, I received only one call from O2 in October, 2012 (or so, I can’t remember). But he did not sort out my issue straight away, instead he promised another call back within a week. Well, I never received a call back since then.
My last visit to the O2 shop was three weeks ago. I met David. David must think he should do something differently this time. He composed an email to the Area Manager reporting this issue, and clicked “Send” in front of me. I took it that David wanted to correct an error happened 7 month ago, he need some kind of authorisation. David said someone, probably the Area Manager, would contact me by the Friday within that week.
Well, more than a week passed. I had not been contacted by “someone”. I was not surprised this time. I must be a very patient man, but I lost my patience with O2 after half a year tracing the credit. I did something I was reluctant to do. I started a complaint procedure.
I am annoyed at being badly serviced by O2 for 2 aspects.
Why O2 always ignore my queries? Why should I spend so much my valuable time tracing £200 credit? O2 wasted me much more than £200 worth of my time.
O2 customer services seem do not bother with what is happening in the O2 shop. They said to me “the O2 shop is franchised – you have to sort your credit with the shop”. It sounds like “it’s none of my business”. I regard the O2 shop part of O2. Whatever the O2 shop is doing wrongly will ruin the reputation of O2. O2 is responsible for all outlet channels. Even if O2 customer services are not able to sort out the credit alone. They should liaison with the shop instead of asking me to go to the shop.
