Google+

Post by MrEthernex »

Google just recently made Google+ public for anyone aged 18 and older, so I thought we could get a thread started on this. How are you guys liking it (if you have it)? Is it better/worse than Facebook? It'll be a general G+ discussion thread and also a place to share account links. Perhaps make a RadioSEGA circle while your at it...

Personally, G+ is okay. It feels more minimalistic than the "new" Facebook, which is kind of a plus since you don't have a stalker update ticker in the corner. I would be more willing to use G+ if more of my friends were on it, but for now they're all on Facebook, so I'm not going to dump Facebook right away. Looking forward to using G+ more in the near future.

I just saw this the other day, this Google+ thing. If it's a lot less like Facebook then I'm for it, just got wait another year for me to actually be able to sign up for it.

I've had a Google+ account for a while now and I haven't used it much, so I'll probably use it somewhat more now that I can't find a most recent tab for the news feed on Facebook. I won't be using it as much as I use my Twitter account, though.

If you are talking about that you+ option next to the web option, I have no idea. I do not have Gmail so I am powerless.

If ya notice the context, you'll see Google+ is another social network like Facebook..more or less. So far I'm not that impressed with it myself, but it is brand new, so. I don't really see it going anywhere though. Look at Google Buzz and Google Wave. Who actually uses those? I don't. I haven't heard of anyone who does either.

Google+ is a waste of time. Everyone moved from myspace to Facebook for good reasons (easier to use) I also have all my friends on Facebook so why should I make a google+ if they already know what I'm up to via the previous network?
