[Bessig] Google Plus / Google Drive for BESSIG?

[Anna Milan - NOAA Federal]

Although NOAA has moved to using gmail, google, drive, docs etc,  - there
are a number of features that are not available to us - such as google+ --
therefore, anyone from NOAA who wants to join the BESSIG community in
google+ will need to use their private gmail. I'd rather participate in
this group using my work identity.

Just my 2 cents  and something to keep in mind- I'm sure there sentiments
similar to mine for Facebook and any otherSocialThing. But let's not let
this 'diversity mask unity" ;) - I will fully support any/all BESSIG social
media efforts -
