Does G+ have a 911 number?!

I was doing an image search for "shock and awe" in my immortal combat of doom cage match of certain awesome destiny with +Mary C. and I ran into this image of +Chris Pirillo. Why is nobody else at all concerned that Chris has been disintegrated ala the 1992 film The Lawnmower Man??? I mean, he sure seemed like a nice chap and all.

Or… Perhaps he's… in the G+ now?

    This looks really cool!
    So we are not all made of stars afterall.. we are made of circles!

    +Dryade Geo I think an understanding universe would allow us to pick our geometric make-up. 😉

    I could move away from the more barrel shaped one then 😛
    I am also more scared by the fact that the Lawnmover Man has still not been forgotten. <_<

    I actually kind of wish there was some kind of 911 functionality, in all seriousness.  I was in a hangout once with someone I know casually on here and a thing came up that could've been dangerous (but wasn't) and it made me realize that if I was chatting with many of you and someone needed 911, I often don't know real names or locations to call 911 for them.  And some folks don't want to share that info.  It'd be cool if there was an opt-in plugin or something that lets people in your circles or you're in a hangout with call 911 for you.

    But I imagine that's probably complicated with various international emergency codes or lack thereof, and then the liability issues, possible pranking issues, etc.

    Plus I probably should stop thinking of new things for +Yonatan Zunger to do until I get these notifications under control…sigh…

    +Kimberly Chapman That would be incredibly complicated to do. Notionally feasible, but the scale of work involved is horrifying. (For one thing, how does one get a person's location information to the local equivalent of 911 dispatchers? What do you do if it's wrong?)

  7. Kimberly Chapman says:

    Yup, +Yonatan Zunger.  One of those things that would be nice to have but pretty much impossible because of the complications.
