ruthiechan Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 Anyone on Google+? Anyone not and need an invite? I think it's spiff-tastic! Quote
john doe Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 Is this one of those things where you really didn't need something until the salesman convinced you that your life was empty without it? Will it give me inner peace and happiness with just the click of a mouse? Will it pay all my bills off no matter how much money I have or how much I owe? Will it automatically clean my house every morning for free? I hear a lot of buzz about how great google+ is, but no one has ever really stated what it will realistically do that I can't do now.

DigitalShadow Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 This comic sums it up: xkcd: Google+Basically it lets you keep in touch with people without having to bug them on IM or email and without having to be subjected to facebook and thousands of crappy flash game invites. Quote
ruthiechan Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Posted July 22, 2011 It's actually better than facebook because you have full control over who sees what. In FB if someone friends you but you don't friend them back and you don't go through a two step process to say, no, I don't want to friend you, that person can see all your posts as if they were your friend. In Google+ if someone chooses to follow you, that's fine, but if you don't put them in any of your circles then the only posts of yours they see are the ones that you mark as public. The interface is also nicer than facebook. I find it rather spiffy and more enjoyable than FB. The only reason why I still visit FB is to stay connected with those not on G+. Quote

ruthiechan Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Posted July 23, 2011 Yeah, when I only had a few friends on there it wasn't that great, hard to experiment, but as more people join, I find that I like it more and more. :) Quote
