Google+

I finally got on!

Mankthetank @ yahoo dot com if anybody is interested

I think you need an gmail address. Shoot me a PM if you want me to add you, but gimme some time it’s the weekend and this is probably gonna be the only time I’m gonna be on a computer until late Sunday night or Monday morning.

dan is already on…apparently you do NOT need a gmail address.

yeah no gmail address is needed. I’ve got invites if anyone needs one.

Invited…checks yours emailz

Freek sent me one and I was in no problem. I do like it so far, I have only played with it on my phone.

No gmail address needed? Oh ok. I sent invites at first to people with non gmail addresses and they said they couldn’t get on. I’m still in the “trying to figure this crazy thing out” phase.

this. when they let everyone and everyone have access to Fb it turned into myspace… and I have since then deleted my account

lol social networking hipsters

LOL

I was on google+ before it was cool.

I guess I don’t understand the gripes about facebook… If someone adds you who you don’t want… don’t add them… If someone you do want to be friends with always posts BS in the news feed… hide all their posts… if you don’t like apps popping up in your news feed… hide them… What’s the problem?

I don’t either, and I never have. I also don’t see targeted advertising to be an invasion of privacy, but apparently the rest of the world does.

Circles isn’t necessarily a response to a problem (and introduces addition problems, e.g. asymmetric sharing has its own downfalls) but I like the convenience of sharing thoughts, links, and photos with subsets of people rather than everyone I happen to subscribe to.

Or the people that complain that facebook sucks at privacy when they don’t lock down their privacy settings at all. Or they’ll use the facebook single sign-on for every website there is.

My biggest gripe about facebook that isn’t related to couples carrying on drama via status messages is the fact that anytime Facebook rolls out a “feature”, you need to manually opt-out. Also their TOS is pretty sketchy with how they own and control information if you take a read of it.

Over all, Google+ needs to provide an alternative. If they get the rush of people and provide a platform that has a big audience, then they have a shot.

They said Google+ already has 10 million users.

who said that because i only heard 1 million
