Remember the character Pat from Saturday Night Live in the early 1990s? Played by Julia Sweeney, this androgynous character later appeared in It's Pat, a film based off of those sketches. That character, along with Julia Sweeney, have long since retired Saturday Night Live, but if Pat was still around today, he/she could sign up on Google+ and others still wouldn't be able to determine the character's sex.

Twitter isn't just about tweeting what you had for lunch, and there's more to Facebook than 'poking' your friends and growing your farm. If you're a business owner, social networking is a great tool for promoting your brand, and at some point, Google+ will join the fray. For the time being, however, Google is asking businesses, universities, and other organizations not to bother with its social networking service.

There's irony, like an old man turned 98 who wins the lottery and dies the next day, or a death row pardon two minutes too late, as well as several other examples Alanis Morissette gives in her song "Ironic." And then there's the fact that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is currently the most followed user on Google+, the so-called Facebook killer that's harder to get into than Disney's Club 33.
