I wonder how many Googlers have or will leave over this issue. Sadly, I suspect the answer is, "not enough to make a difference."

Liz Fong is a great example of someone I met on G+ who seems really awesome. We have added each other on Twitter for whatever good that does, I hope we stay in touch.

Nice to meet you! I see you're moving to the bay area, so perhaps we can meet up some time. :}
