I don't think so. I'm getting an oddball mix of I don't know what through Sparks.

Looks like some one (I'm looking at you Face Book) is trying to play catch up in the features department. Namely they are trying to imitate circles.

In the meanwhile, Google+ is great if I want to check up on the Endless Photo Challenge results ... but for little else.


And once again, facebook's new feature for managing friends is utterly confusing to me, and Google's is so intuitive I could do it in my sleep.

So wake me when Google+ has a tenth the number of people on facebook, and maybe I'll consider using it some more.

This sentence gives me pause (though I'll have to see the implementation, I don't find the current friends list management to be difficult):

"These “Smart Lists” will be updated automatically though users can edit them as well."

What does "automatically" mean? Because nobody should ever automatically get added to anything other than the lowest level of access and I'd to post something to one group unaware that someone was "automatically" added to it.

They also changed their notification settings to "lessen the amount of emails received" by sending digests instead of individual notifications. When I looked at the "new and improved" settings I found I was now opted in to a bunch of emails I had never been opted in to before.

Oh dear, smart lists? So they're going to filter for me? I hate that crap

Stick with the LoT, I say. Social Networking be buggered.

GD questioned the difficulty of my latest LoT photo so I quit Google+ forever.

So much sadness for one little post, was it really difficult for you to post that?

I was wondering when the first Google+ YAGE would be....
