Google Plus, facebook killer

[Frosted]

It does indeed offer you that option.

I recall seeing a profile option where you could specify if your profile is searchable from the web regardless of what you profile field settings are.

If that's the case I'll be changing to Google+ then.

Tim sent me one and it worked.

My biggest bug bear is right there "Your name and any other fields you make public in your profile are searchable on the web and may appear in Google Search results." I haaaate that.

I'm amazed - really.

[Frosted]

You're very clean. I don't know how you've managed it because all I'm getting up is this chubby prick.

[Frosted]

You're on.

[Frosted]

Well, it makes sense. Public is public, no? Can you enter the info, and NOT make it public?

My problem is that what is entered into a social networking site ends up getting dumped on google search, whether it be Facebook or Google+. Future employers etc etc can find out anything about you which makes any kind of 'privacy' settings completely redundant.

My bad man, I sent you one already but not sure why it isn't going through. When I get home I will send another one to the email address you gave me, it should say something like "Stewart Gregerson shared something with you on Google+, click here to learn more." or something along those lines.

you sent me one saying 'Google invite to follow.'

Could it be USA only?

Sgreger, could you please send an invite my way?

All,

Add me on G+ if your on, and anyone who is already on should go post on my "identify yourself" post, where everyone posts their usernames so we know who everyone is. ANyone who can't get in should PM me again and I will re-send the invite.

They can add you without your permission (it's just like following you on twitter), but you can choose what they get to see. People who add you without your permission can only see stuff you post to "public". Whenever you post/share something, it asks which circles you want to post it to, if you choose "Family" circle only, than only those in your family circle will be able to see it, and only if you choose "public" can strangers see it. So people adding you is of no consequence to you at all, and they only get to see the things you choose to share with the public.

I do like that posting mechanism. I guess part of me doesn't like that system as I am thinking of it as friending and they can add me in their circles to filter what they post to me. I am sure it will work out though.
