<p>Though if you read <a href="http://scobleizer.com/2011/11/08/i-wish-i-had-never-heard-of-googles-brand-pages/">Robert Scoble&#8217;s take on their first incarnation</a>, it ain&#8217;t pretty&#8230;</p>
<p>Honestly, we think this is just a matter of expectation management.  Facebook has had multiple revisions over the years, but users are expecting everything G+ does to have parity with Facebook.  But this kind of thinking leaves Google with the choice between launching a possibly overblown and incomprehensible product, or leaving a few people, like Robert, disappointed.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s got a right to be disappointed, and all his points are valid.  It&#8217;s just that, in our estimation, it seems like Google&#8217;s just being cautious.  The next update to brand pages, however, will prove whether we&#8217;re right, or wrong on this.</p>

<p>One of Creative Combat&#8217;s websites was the $400 question in the &#8220;Websites&#8221; category on Jeopardy&#8217;s Tournament of Champions this past Friday.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.Bullshido.net">Bullshido.net</a> is a Mixed Martial Arts and Combat Sports (Boxing, Wrestling, Shooting, etc.) website, which has a side mission of &#8220;fighting BS in the Martial Arts&#8221;, or in other terms, consumer protection.  In fact, it&#8217;s pretty much the only consumer protection group for the <strong>billion dollar</strong> Martial Arts industry.</p>
<p>With around 120,000 members (as of this post), the site is almost completely driven by user content; discussions, product reviews, and even feature articles are all provided by experts in its member base.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the video:</p>
