I was very skeptic about G+, but when I used it, I realized it had everything a social network should have. Circles are a *very* powerful feature when implemented the way google did.
I can filter out my news feed to show just feeds from my friends or workmates or acquaintances or anything. I think it has a real shot at mapping every real life connection to an online one.

Even then Facebook has groups which is poorly implemented for the average user but does the same function. Another issue is content. I am not motivated to shift the content i put on facebook over to G+ and im sure there are many others that feel the same. FB is good for what it does, and So is twitter. What does G+ do that the others dont that will make me abandon them??

This is on the tight integration with the other Google services (One-stop-messaging) and i say there will always be a loop to exploit. _______________________________________________ The Uganda Linux User Group: http://linux.or.ug Send messages to this mailing list by addressing e-mails to: [email protected] Mailing list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Mailing list settings: http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug To unsubscribe: http://kym.net/mailman/options/lug The Uganda LUG mailing list is generously hosted by INFOCOM: http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
