Google+

I recently signed up for the latest social network, Google+.  Right now it isn't open to the public so you need an invite to get in on it.  I must say it looks like a facebook killer to me.  I haent had much time to play around with it but so far I like the way it's set up and some of the cool features.

I'm posting this from my phone right now but in the future I'll probably do a more in-depth review with screenshots.

It allows you to put people in different groups, called circles.  Then when you post something you get to choose which circles can see it.  So you can still have your family or your boss as a friend but you don't have to share everything with them.

There are some other neat features as well but I haven't really tested them all out yet.  It allows for the creation of virtual hangouts using your webcam and then any friends who join you in the virtual hangout can videochat with the other people there.  So that seems pretty cool to me.

I just wanted to take the time to post something here since I've been too busy to write anything lately.  I'll try to write some more later or tomorrow if I can.  Thanks for reading.

    I'm on but I'm not so sure about it. It'll work great if everyone moves onto it from Facebook, and hopefully won't suffer from all the games/mismanagement/bullshit that have made Facebook irritating... But will that happen?

    That sounds fairly interesting. I'll probably make an account on there eventually, but i'm not in a big rush. My guess is that facebook will still remain the dominant "social network", and just copy the features of google. But anything can happen, you never know.

    Oh. Google+.
    Ok.
    In a moment od drunk clarity, I predicted the doom of google+.
    For people associate google with mail. And they'll be afraid that, when logged in, other people will be able to see some fragments of their mail life.
    It sounded so much better when I was drunk. Seriously.
