Google+ Is it the answer to Facebook? - Page 20

You have to YAGE at the place you're YAGEing from.

Morrigoon · 09-15-2011, 08:17 PM

Wait, that was a real YAGE? I thought that was sarcasm

Alex · 09-16-2011, 05:58 AM

No it wasn't a real YAGE since I didn't do it where I was YAGEing.

No, it wasn't sarcasm.

No, it wasn't serious.

What's the YAGE equivalent of refusing to enter in the first place? Put me down for one of those.

For now.

YAGNS

Yet another grand nonsequetor?

Strangler Lewis · 09-16-2011, 08:55 AM

I'm guessing "no show." Let's take the Y off and make it AGNS. Then, we'll make it "Agnes."

Example:

Q: What's his Twitter name?

A: Agnes.

Spread the word.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

A coworker just added me on Google+.

Of course I immediately relegated him to my "Acquaintances" wasteland, but still. Everything was so pristine there.

By the way, I just thought I'd put this here - even though it's about facebook and not Google+.

Maybe people knew this, but I didn't. The default setting is to receive "most" of your friends' updates. Nothing says how facebook determines which updates to send to your feed. But if you hover over a friend's name, a box appears with a "Subscribed to" button in the lower right. Click that for several options, including whether you want to receive "all" updates from that friend, "most" updates or only "important" updates. Damn, but I hate facebook. The default is "most." Have fun changing this for each of your friends that you want to receive all updates from. Sheesh.

In the next week or so, there's supposed to be big changes in the facebook layout. Google+ is driving some of this (such as facebook's even-more- confusing friends management, in response to Google+'s elegant simplicity in that area), and some is driven by Zuckerberg's bald greed.

Now, instead of or in addition to the famed Like button, you will have "Read," "Listened" and "Watched" - all to indicate that you've properly consumed the stuff your friends have linked-to, and that information will be sold to advertisers in order to target you more directly and pervasively. More insidious still is the "Want" button, where you can tell advertisers exactly what they should be pitching to you, because your wallet is open and salivating.

Nice.

I really, really wish G+ would implement a way to block people from your feed without removing them from your list. Or allow a default view that shows a specific circle first, always.
