(and it is a gmail email).<br />From what I saw on the videos on youtube about google +, in therms of circles, for me no news cause FB does that. The "plus" will be I guess the group chat (like Skype I think), and text messaging a bunch of friends at the same time... humm.. I just hate the invitation thing... like the first days og Gmail, you needed an invitation to have an account there -_- bahKaren Ussenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10673896313611432065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-31972607926365437982011-07-15T14:49:47.634-04:002011-07-15T14:49:47.634-04:00Rachel and PJ both make great points.

Google has a seemingly unlimited array of resources to heighten the social networking expericences (or at least more than fbook) I guess it comes down to what holds the most clout the worlds largest social network or the worlds largest search engine? Either way it will be a battle.

Don't have a G+ invite though. :-(<br /><br />Circles are *exactly* what I've been saying Facebook needs to fix many of its privacy problems. Facebook knows this too, but its business model benefits from having user networks as large as possible.Matt Leohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18293981958165542004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-22403227858933147582011-07-12T15:54:08.121-04:002011-07-12T15:54:08.121-04:00interesting commentary from PJ. While I don't...interesting commentary from PJ. While I don't disagree, I would add my thought that google+ circles are easier to use than adjusting your facebook settings. Additionally, I like the integration that google+ provides, and believe this may add to their popularity. I think the web has become populated by a plethora of different apps and platforms, but that ultimately people are looking for integration and ease of use. If google+ can provide this, it may make them competitive. Personally, I enjoy the way google+ is integrated into my whole google account. Eventually I'll have one stop shopping for searching (especially google scholar), email, groups, documents, calendar (LOVE this feature), blogs, and social networking. If google acquires and incorporates other popular apps such as Yelp, PayPal, or ???, then who knows where their service could go?<br /><br />With regard to facebook triumphing because they were first... take a look at MySpace. I guess we'll see how it all pans out...<br /><br />RachelRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03312752727362723388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-78860557932345585092011-07-12T07:51:15.970-04:002011-07-12T07:51:15.970-04:00Hey Paul just to show you I read the whole thing.....Hey Paul just to show you I read the whole thing...what's wrong with locksmiths?

It's not as easy as it used to be, but it is possible to have different lists and share different thoughts with those lists, without sharing with people not on those lists. <br /><br />As well, FB allows you to group lists together, and to set a "default" group for routine status updates. Mine, for example, excludes children, employees, and a group I call "non-status," which is comprised of acquaintances whom I know or suspect could be easily offended. You can adjust this default setting as needed for individual posts.<br /><br />I find G+ to be almost eerily FB-like, to the point where I suspect a "look and feel" lawsuit may not be far away. As your friend's colleague notes in his/her reply, though, right now the cachet of G+ is its exclusivity. Once G+ becomes as open to the rest of the world as is FB, the two will duke it out on their respective merits. My money is on FB, mainly because they got here first.PJ Geraghtyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15831912103804824479noreply@blogger.com
