Google+

[JasonWin]

Anybody else here on Google+? It'd be pretty cool to make a GoNintendo Circle (I already have a pretty big Reddit circle). If enough people are interested I can make a public Post that we'll all reply in and then add each other.

If any of you need an invite just PM me your gmail address and I can make an invite post for ya. Just remember that Google shuts access on and off so it ya can't get in right away just try again later.

Done, you should probably edit your email out of the post.

What exactly is Google+? I've been hearing it mentioned a lot lately.

It's google's new Social Network. It's probably best explained by this youtube video

Here's an even shorter explanation:

Wow, doesn't look too interesting. Maybe it's just me, though?

I don't know, there seems to be a trend of everyone changing social network services every couple of years starting up. Honestly I don't know why everyone switched from myspace, I always liked it better because you could customize your page. What they need is sort of a myspace/facebook hybrid. I'll probably wait until everyone quits facebook before i switch. I don't really care to much about it, I mostly only use it to talk to friends I don't see much anymore.

I got invited to join yesterday. It has potential (for use in my lifestyle) but I can see myself using it for about 2 weeks and then never again. The main page looks too much like Facebook's Wall and as I mentioned in my first G+ post - I HATE Facebook. I don't have a Facebook page and never had nor will have the desire to get one. I'll try G+ for a few weeks but I can't promise anyone that I'll stay around.

I think one of the key features that Google+ has over facebook it the ability to follow people without needing them to friend you back. This make's it great for following celebrities similar to the way twitter is. And of course by choosing what circles you publish to you can decide you you want to see what.

It's also great for online communities. As I mentioned in my first post I have a decent sized Reddit circle (it currently sits at 168 witch is small in comparison to some). There are people I never would of friended on something like facebook (I've never had a facebook account by the way) but here I am interacting with them and enjoying it.

Honestly I don't know why everyone switched from myspace, I always liked it better because you could customize your page.

Honestly I believe that's one of the big reasons facebook won over myspace. Myspace just had so much clutter and without a unifying look it can be intimidating to lots of people.

I'm new to the GoNintendo boards but I do have a G+ profile.

I just got into Google Plus, It's definitely MUCH better than Facebook with teh "circles" Theme.
Anyone else feel the same?

Is it invite only still? I'd be interested in checking it out actually.

Besides I'm not sure Google have enough of my personal information documented away yet.
