"If you try to create a Google account from Google's homepage, you'll notice that Google redesigned the page, but that's not all. You'll now have to create a Gmail account, a Google Profile and you'll automatically join Google+."
I honestly didn't mind it per se, it was just a ghost town. I may go back to it someday if there is content I like, combined with a social graph that respects my distaste for knowing about every meaningless detail of every family/friend/acquaintance's daily life. I think that the problem is that the measure of a social network's success is the amount of 'chatter' on it. It is this chatter that I dislike, as it is mostly irrelevant, not interesting, and time wasting. I guess I don't like successful social networks by definition...
Are any of you actively using Google plus? If G-plus has had any impact on me, it's that it has nearly fully removed me from FB without getting me to commit to G-plus. I feel no need for either. had to use (-plus) to avoid inadvertently bolding
That said, its amazing to me how much I enjoy conversing with absolute strangers more than the the hundreds of pseudo "friends" I have on Facebook. Either Hubski has a great community or I need more interesting friends. -Maybe both ;)
