So, Google are trying their hand at social media once more.

I quite like what I've seen though it's early days at the moment. It's understandably barren right now, but looks like it could work out to be a great internet hub once it takes off a bit more.

Anyone else on it yet?

Speaking of social media, follow me on twitter - @Jtroughton. I usually write inane babble about my day to day but sometimes take pictures of Korean stuff and have been known to tweet about my d-mods/writing on the odd occasion. If you don't I'll eat your soul. Thanks.

I'm simply a distraction. 
I'll be sure to do it when I get the chance.

Yeah, I haven't tinkered around with it much either. Why was that post deleted?

I realized I'd basically just repeated myself so deleted it immediately after posting it.

Why not repurposed it via modify but I only say that because I can't delete it's probaly better that way though.

Quack. 
I have it, but not with my primary email address yet because I'm apparently too young. When they drop the age limit/I turn 18 I'll start using it more.

I like it so far. It's very Facebook-y, but cleaner and cooler.

Let us save our effort and just lie down and die. 
Facebook's a dirty, spammy, ad-y piece of shoot, so I'll be glad if there's a less commercial alternative.

I took their "tour" last night, inspired by your thread about it... I am very interested.

Skull: Haha, thanks. I went to see a football match between FC Seoul and FC Daegu and he was the mascot. Legendary.

Tal: Yeah, it's pretty interesting. If it's going to usurp Facebook I imagine it will take a helluva long time to do so, but I really like how crisp and clean it currently is. Setting it as my home page leaves both my email and Youtube channel a single click away, which is good.

Interney hub go!

Why, may I ask, do you think it's pathetic?

I find it boring. And hard to use, maybe I'm just a n00b.

I don't know if google+ will ever pass facebook, but google certainly has upgraded their search engine and is probably one of the most used sites online. Google has so many applications and people can use it for pretty much anything they need, so I doubt google+ will have any program issues seeing how google has some of the top programmers there is.
