<p class="MsoPlainText">Thanks for taking the time to create an IT Apps Google+ Community.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">My main concern relates to the privacy of what we post both now and in the future. While we may be able to create and maintain a secure community at the moment with Google+, I worry about future changes that google may make that open
our communications/resources up to a wider audience (e.g. students). Perhaps I'm alone in this and just being a little paranoid, but I've been wary of what large private organisations may do with our data since watching "Terms and Conditions May Apply" (2013,
