Well, you have to try.

It's rather difficult to "Boycott Google©" on account of their tax habits.
1. They, usually, translate better/more accurately than the resident Bing© does in Facebook.
2. Same goes for their Maps.
3. Although I was aware of, and had access to, Google+ photos I hadn't realised every damn one got automatically transferred thither.

I also discovered that they frequently snatch a series of photos and combine them into an "animation" of sorts.
SO - I thought I'd try it with a series of 12 hourly shots of this - this one being the 1st.. Still no sign of animation a fortnight later.
