Google Plus, facebook killer

[muddyfunkstar]

I'm liking G+ so far. I'm going to stick with it, I can see real potential. It feels like the missing link between Facebook and Twitter - two things I've tried but never really dug that much.

After using it for a while i'm going to stick with it. I don't use social media much but I guess i'll keep a presence. I like how people can't spam you, and how every stupid club and event doesn't spam up your stream like it does on facebook. I see some areas to improve but if you follow Punit Sonni (G+ inventor) you will see how he is fixing it. If you suggest a change he will likely implement it. It's still in beta so we'll see how it goe sin the long run. I like it because I can better filter what content I see and because it integrates with my other existing google services.

All in all I think it's a welcome addition/competition to the social media networks but I don't use social media much so other than posting pics of ym daughter I probably won't be using it much.

Exactly. Although I would like the event like events and be able to post them but sharing them with circles is just fine. Facebook I send out mass events for gigs. But I also make lists based on area so I am not sending people in another state event invites for something no where near them.

He's good isn't he. A virtuoso ass player.

WTF Frosted?! I foresee shitty recommendations from YouTube in your future :^D

I like it because it's not FB and I like Google. It's not as intuitive to use as FB, especially for my "never used Facebook" friends.

I like it. The iPhone app is awesome. And I have over 50 people on there so far surprisenly. It's nice.

I've been using Google+ for quite a while now, but I only have 6 people on it. Which isn't much compared to my 140 Facebook contacts. Having said that, I do like the fact that there is no Farmville on Google+. So +1 from me

[Frosted]

So, this is my critique of it so far

[Frosted]

. But I do agree with you; boring, unintuitive and stupid are words I would use to describe it thus far.

My thoughts exactly.

Frosted, check back to the site in a few months. Don't delete your account just yet. As it stands now I hate it too lol. But I understand it's just a trial phase and they plan to add a lot more to it, so it might get more tolerable and useful. Hell it's only 3 weeks in the making (publicly that is). But I do agree with you; boring, unintuitive and stupid are words I would use to describe it thus far.

[Frosted]

Sorry guys - I HATE Google + and can't see me using it. As hard as I try, I can't see what all the fuss is about? I'm not a great fan of FB either so maybe it's just me and social networking I find hard to deal with and if it is, nothing will fix that.
I like snuson a hell of a lot, so I'll stick to being here.

Just so that everyone knows, the iPhone app for Google+ just went live on the app store

That is great news! Thanks for the update.

If you post to Extended Circles it will be seen by your circles, and your friends circles. That's about the closest thing to a Facebook wall post I can think of.

Like I said, just tag the person, shows to who you know, posts on their wall and shows to who they know. Not the extended circle of everyone you know.
