Cancelled Google+ - anyone else?

It feels very "too little too late" on Google's part.  I can't keep up with two social media outlets and Google+ seemed too clunky and elementary. 

Will someone let me know if it ever gets cool?  Big Smile

Re: Cancelled Google+ - anyone else?

  • I signed up for it and I find it confusing and difficult to get around. Maybe I am just used to FB but I really don't plan on doing much with it. All the same people who would be on Google+ are on FB, so It's not worth switching over to me.

  • I have mine, but I don't think I've used it since I signed up. 

     

    I just don't "get it". Maybe I'm old, but FB seems so much more user friendly

  • I have mine, and I'm waiting for people to move over to it for now.   I think there are some opportunities for Google to overtake facebook eventually. 

    I dunno. I can remember when I had facebook before everyone else and people were all "why facebook when I can use myspace? pshtt."  haha So we'll see what happens!

    Very true.  I think I'll stick to Facebook a little longer though.  I guess I wasn't *quite* ready to make the leap.  :-)

  • It's a little confusing to me. I've maybe looked at it once since I've signed up?

  • I tend to agree...I've got mine set up, but really never go over there...there's too much going on right now with Spotify, and Pinterest that I can't keep doing other things, and facebook seems to be just fine for me.

    Myspace was started as a place for musicians to share their music, and then everyone started coming to the water cooler and it grew in popularity until Facebook popped up and made it what most people wanted...now myspace has gone back to just what it was intended to be...and Justin Timberlake just bought interest in Myspace to make it more of a music hotspot website...so I'm fine with them both having their place.  It seems though like google is trying to become the next great facebook and I don't really know that it'll happen facebook really is more user friendly.  And if I want circles and networks I can go to Linked In.

  • I think it will eventually take over.  The "plus" for google plus is FB is AWFUL with respect to privacy.  With Google +, the defaults are that everything is private unless you manually change it to be otherwise.
  • I like it. I am keeping FB until the election is over and then I will probably just use google+. I hope it takes off.

    This.

    I really like it and hope that it will take over. It's a little lonely on Google+ right now! I far prefer it to Facebook for the privacy factors alone.

  • I never signed up for it.  I don't even have facebook, but if google+ ever gets cool, I'll consider joining since the privacy settings seem pretty legit

    A cw invited me and I never signed up. I have FB and LinkedIn. Shut down my LinkedIn for about 8 months last year but started it back up again while job hunting. I keep FB around because there are a lot of people I don't want to lose contact with and it's the most convenient way -- shut down everything on it I can short of deactivating my account. I don't log in much anymore.
