Not gonna bother with it personally, unless I really can't escape it in the future. Just another internet fad. A bit late in the running, too. Can't be arsed to set up a new social network profile, doing my best to leave all social networking sites as it is. But yeah it's obvious a lot of people are going to try it out. But I assume these are people with plenty of time on their hands and never went through the conversion from myspace to facebook, or yahoo profiles to myspace, or icq to yahoo profiles, or having a life to icq.

@Jon - check your Gmail

@Mods - I clung on to Myspace for all my life until I was forced to concede that nobody used it anymore. Had a grudge against Facebook from day one and it only ever got worse. And I made things worse for by adding all my old school friends (which at the time seemed like FB's only redeeming quality). With Google I'm going to be a bit more fussy about who I add. I no longer play Pokemon so I haven't got that 'gotta catch 'em all' mentality. Facebook can be where I dump all my shit jokes and rubbish updates that no-one wants to read, I might decide to use G+ a bit more maturely.

Khris, I sent you an invite!

Thanks, didn't get it though, not sure why. It didn't end up in the Spam folder either. Maybe you need a google address?

My very first Facebook status was something along the lines of "I'm a total sell-out and I'm never going to get anything done. Thanks a lot Mark Zuckerberg." I added people I went to school with until I realized..I didn't even talk to most of them once after adding them. Now I've trimmed the fat of my Facebook "friends", but there's still a few that I don't really keep in contact with that often.

Of course! Links to YouTube and Twitter! The peak of maturity!

It's rather odd to exist in a social network where's not very much network yet.
At least, no more "like, share & annoy your 999 friends with this and win a free <some dumb crap like women shoes>" nor farmville requests. This I like.

But still, nobody uses it yet.
What to do?

monkey0506 · Thu 14/07/2011 08:47:29

That's actually somewhat of my dilemma. I feel less inclined to share things via Google+ because more of the people I actually care to reach are on Facebook at the moment than are on G+, but yet it does feel much nicer sharing things there.

CoffeeBob · Thu 14/07/2011 09:34:39

G+ does sound interesting. Kind of like Facebook, but fresh and new. Also, the fact that it's not Fb makes it a lot more intriguing.

Right now, most of my activity on Fb consists of 'liking' silly posts and posting silly comments on silly posts...

Like Stupot said, it would be great to at least try to use G+ more maturely, but I'd have to have an account to even try first.
So, if anyone has an invite lying around.. (Send it to vohaulthreepwood@gmail.com, plzkthx)?

Stupot · Thu 14/07/2011 10:59:25

Try that, Bob

Check you're male.

CoffeeBob · Thu 14/07/2011 11:19:19

Thank you very much, kind sir Stupot(+).

If people are looking for me you can find me with the people finder if you search for 'Wyz', I'm the one with the green user icon. Actually there might be a change I've already added you.

Apart from anything else, it makes you have loads more free space in Picasa, just for signing up to G+!
