Title: Google+ aka Google Plus - anyone try it?
Post by: grahf on 06/30/2011, 04:47 AM
I'm kind of excited to try this out, since it seems to address a lot of the issues I have with Facebook. The circles thing especially. I'm also liking the automatic syncing of photos and videos, since I carry an Android phone.

What do you guys think? Anyone have an account?

I'd try it, but I don't have an account.

I tried it.

when it already had all my info filled in prior to my arrival, I said Fuck you, Google.

I'm getting tired of their bullshit.

The next time it logs me in to gmail with my yahoo id (because my computer is also logged into Yahoo), I am going to drive to Google HQ and skullfuck whoever came up with that.

I signed up.  It reminds me of Facebook about 6 years ago.

Yeah if there are any invites, Gobantoba [ at ] gmail (dot_) com thanks.

I remember starting a Wave invite thread around here.  Look how great Wave turned out.  Wonder if Google+ will have the same fate.  Oh well, still want to try it out.  :)

Unlike Facebook, Google contributes money and code to a lot of awesome free software projects. I'd rather them profit off of my public info than Facebook.

It's a shame Wave died. It was actually useful for certain things.

Well I got on the other day. It's still really sparse as far as content goes, but I like the overall structure more than Facebook. It's not perfect though, but I see little tweaks happening every day.

Gobantoba, I sent you an invite. Anyone else who wants an invite, let me know.
