Google+

Anybody try Google+?

I've been playing with it for a few days now and really like it. I think it just might give Facebook a run for it's money.

I have it but haven't messed with it yet as I've only been home for a day and my son keeps stealing my computer.

I've got it set up. Mostly just a new Facebook with some more doodads and eliminating some unnecessary stuff. I do like that it seems to be a bit more simplistic. Wanna circle up, JK?

Yeah, same here. It's a simpler facebook for now, but they're on the right track to make FB sweat in a year or so. Feel free to add me wiscojason [AtothemuthafuckinT] yahoo (DtothemuthafuckinT] com

I just got an invite today to join. I will hit you guys up once I set it up. Maybe I will make my google+ account a burner exclusive thing...

You can create a circle just for burner friends.

Is it different than google chrome?

Post by **Elderberry** » Mon Jul 18, 2011 10:01 pm

Google Chrome is a web browser, like Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, or Firefox.
Google+ is a social website like Facebook. Actually they are hoping to become Facebook's biggest competition. The URL is http://plus.google.com and you need a gmail account to login, I think.

Ok. I joined it! now what?

Post by **Elderberry** » Mon Jul 18, 2011 10:27 pm

I think I sent you an invite. But just look around and start adding friends to your circles.

Anyone got a spare invite to send my way? ericsteinsf AblahblaT gmail DOblahblahT com

I really hate fb tonight- I thought I killed the chat window but it just makes me always available, and now it's more intrusive than ever. Lord they know how to piss off their users.

You do not need a Gmail acct. I don't have one, You just need a google account which you can create with any email address.

Account created and added you guys. I will have to spend some time with it. Also going to check and see if there is an iPhone app. I spend most of my time on the eplaya and FB via my iPhone...and the latest FB update to their app is terrible. Would love a better alternative...maybe Google+ is it.

Post by **Elderberry** » Tue Jul 19, 2011 8:21 am

One thing I'm finding is that when people from eplaya are adding me, it's hard, if not impossible to tell who they are (especially if your eplaya handle and your real name aren't even closely related)!
Maybe after adding someone from here, sending a note on Google+ identifying your eplaya handle would be useful?

DustHand · Post by **DustHand** » Tue Jul 19, 2011 8:24 am

That's probably a really good idea....

Good call! I'll add everyone when I get home tonight

apparently they have exceeded their design capacity and are no longer registering people.

Only reason I joined Facebook was to play Scrabble. What's Google got?

Social networking from Google? Isn't that like News Corp offering an opt-in on telephone hacking?

Post by **Elderberry** » Tue Jul 19, 2011 1:07 pm

PM me your email address and I'll send you an invitation.
