Google's +1

[trish1234567]

Is anyone else finding Google's +1 intrusive. I find this is popping up too frequently for my liking and today after a google search, my full name appeared asking if I would like to go 'live' and discuss the subject over the net - which of course I don't! Can I delete it altogether?

I don't think so.
Googles way of retreiving yet more personal data to be sold/lost/stored and used against you one day.

I haven't tried opting out of it, but there are a load of options in your Google Account that you can try unchecking. Start here:

https://plus.google.com/settings/plus

I've now unticked the box which says - Google may use my information to personalise content and ads on non-Google websites unquote -

However, I think this may only work if I actually want to join, which I don't, even although Google says – Don't worry, it's still a lot of fun! Don't think I beat Google with this one!
