Google Plus Blocker

It's still too early to tell, but Google Plus certainly has been gaining momentum since its launch, and is beginning to create a "social community" around it.

Unfortunalte, its "in-your-face" aspect might also be cause for concern when you need to focus on something and have that constant nagging feeling of having that notification counter following you around Google services.
And, once you click on it, you're likely to begin clicking around and... soon you'll realize more time has passed than you could actually afford.

So, it's no surprise someone created a Chrome extension than blocks out Google+ notifications.

Personally, I would prefer to have a simple mute/unmute option in the Google+ notifications are in the Google bar. Not only it would be more practical to use, it would also work in all browsers instead of relying on a specific browser extension.

So, if anyone at Google is reading this... please consider adding a muto notification option. Thanks! :)
