Google+ Now Lets You Keep Your Gender Private

Google listened, and now lets you make your gender private in Google+. It also uses gender-neutral language—"they" as opposed to "him" or "her"—to make things simpler. Well done!

    Good thing google is listening to its users, that's pretty much the only way they'll survive is by adapting to people's needs.

    That seems rather odd...are there really that many people that want to hide their gender ?
    And anyway, isn't the whole point of the service to communicate and share with other people ?
    I don't know - just seems weird that people want to have a new social media service, but want to hide one of the most basic aspects of who they are.

    I tried Google + and it's not worth it, everyone should just stick to youtube.

    In Diaspora the gender is a textbox, so you can input whatever you want.
