Google+ now has Finally Backlinks to Original Posting

One of the most used features on Google+ is the SHARE
Sometimes postings have a few hundred shares and there was only a link to the original profile of AUTHOR of the posting, but not to the exact shared posting.

Now a link to the original posting is included
Try it by yourself and share this posting and you will see.

It is really hard to understand, why it took the Google+ team so long to include this feature.

On Wednesday I had posted a question in the Google+ hangout but it was not answered in the hangout. Because in the Google+ API all information is available for the backlink. And now this nice makeup is there.

Thanks Google+ Team

+Andrew Brown has spotted it in a one of my share first.

Where is the real problem in the entertainment industry? OLD BUSINESS MODELS. Give people what they want – and they're happy to pay. Treat paying customers like criminals and more piracy happens.

This reminds me of another business model that got left behind: How many of us have purchased a full set of printed encyclopedias recently? NOBODY!

While going door to door, encyclopedia salesmen kept hearing from people ask "Can I get that on a CD?"

Their answer was "No".

Their sales were dwindling – the salespeople were passing the word on to their business what customers wanted, but the business did not listen because they did not want to lose their print sales.

Guess what?

They ended up losing ALL sales!

Me either, up until yesterday. I had bought a package of mixed nuts and as I was eating them, I was thinking about all of the shells that used to be around all the nuts. I could place all of them in my mind except the cashew!

After researching, I have a whole new appreciation for cashews & wonder why they're so cheap – considering their shells contain anacardic acid, which on contact, produces a response similar to poison ivy and the cashew nuts (seeds) have to be roasted outdoors to destroy the toxin and make them edible. (Outdoors, because the smoke also creates a skin/lung reaction similar to burning poison ivy.)

One cashew nut (seed) grows below each cashew apple. Cashew apples are edible, but the skin is fragile, making it unsuitable for transport. A lot of the tree is used for medicinal purposes, and the anacardic acid itself can be used to fight against tooth abscesses, MRSA, acne & TB.

I'm truly amazed at this plant.
