Paris' editors are awesome and made my hesitant rambling sound snappy and lively too. This came out extremely well.

"you join google+ because .. a bunch of your friends have just moved from facebook"

point of order: pretty sure most people joined g+ because of that weird-ass "we're going to force EVERYONE with a google account to have a g+ account" shit (you know, that dumb shit which came around at the same time as the disastrously harmful g+ realname policy)
