I'm actually on the residency interview trail right now. Judging by your post you must already be well entrenched in a residency you loathe. Sorry.

From reading the article the app is not a Google+ app, it's a Google Chrome extension that is being used by many for Google+. Saying it like the title says it implies a disservice on FB's part towards Google+ which may or may not be the case.

I'd rather they allow authentication via google ID, so I can use google's more versatile two-factor auth.
