Google Plus Gets Animated by NMA TV

NMA pokes fun at Google Buzz

It’s been less than a day since most of us have had our first glimpse Google’s new social project, Google Plus. But the animators over at NMA TV in Taiwan have already whipped up a short production about it.

Check out the explainer below that outlines Google’s other less-than-successful social experiments (Wave, Buzz) with NMA’s typically playful CG interpretation. They also ‘poke’ fun at Zuckerberg and Co. too, as Google‘s new service aims to remedy many of the privacy issues Facebook users complain about.

Check out the video below, and see what you think. Apparently it was a late-night job, but I think they did pretty well.

We’ve been playing a little with Google Plus so far, and it does look promising. As we reported earlier, contrary to what you may be reading elsewhere it is not yet blocked in China. It has been significantly throttled, but our man in China says it’s still usable. If you’re in China, file an accessibility report here.
