Why does CNET hate Google so much??

Google+ is now open to everyone!

So the big news today is that the Google+ project announced a group of new updates including update #100 which opens their social network to anyone and everyone, no invite required. As an active Google+ user, this was great news to me since I now am hopeful that more of my friends and acquaintances will give G+ a try.

But apparently not everyone thinks this is good news. Over at cnet.com their headline reads "Google opens its social network to all," which is followed underneath by two other links that say "Do you want another social site?" and "The minuses of the +". Really, CNET? Really?

This is the second time I have questioned CNET's objectivity...the first is what I feel is consistently biased reviews and negatively charged articles regarding Chromebooks and the Chrome OS. To be fair, they tend to be somewhat unbiased about Android...but they have to be considering Android's market share.

So what's up at CNET? Are some of them bitter because Google wouldn't hire them? Are they miffed because they didn't get a G+ invite? Are they upset that they didn't get a CR-48 Chromebook when the project started?

I have started notes on a blog post about Google+, the idea for that post came up many days ago before the big news today. I will save my thoughts on G+ for that post. I'm also planning a full product review of my Samsung Chromebook after I've had it a month, so keep an eye out for that.

In the meantime, my friends, I urge you to continue to be open minded and give Google+ a try if you haven't already. I also encourage anyone who's genuinely happier using Facebook to continue to do so.  I also urge you to question what you read online and be on the lookout for bias and opinions that aren't grounded in sound logic. As for me, I've decided I'm officially done reading articles on CNET. There are plenty of other sources on the Interwebs [sic] where I can get timely, unbiased, and level-headed tech news and reviews.
