I got an invite to join the beta testers of Google+ (it will be publicly available at the end of this month) and I started to use it. Then I had second thoughts. Do I want Google to know who all my friends, clients, relatives are and every detail of my likes and dislikes? Do I want to spend my valuable time organizing that info for Google? I know gmail is not private and I assume Google will control all that info that I volunteer and that my friends contribute. It may too late, they may already know vastly more about myself than I realize, but I hesitate to use Google+
I have since then received a dozen requests from friends to connect to their circles on Google+. Part of me wishes to respond quickly and accept their invitations, but I have concerns. Would you care to share a few thoughts about this? Do we just accept that there is no privacy left in life and go with the herd? I'd especially welcome comments from security experts. TIA.
