Google+ Is it the answer to Facebook?

[Alex]

I don't know about other browsers but there are several Chrome extensions that will allow you to set a specific circle as your default view. So if you put people into a purgatory circle you'll not see them.

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.

but will there be a "f**k" button?

My problem with facebook is every time they come up with a new "improvement" they automatically opt you into it. Instead of saying here's a new thing and here's how to use it if you want it.

I just bookmarked my Lot circle. That way I always see that first.

I haven't been on Google+ in days and I'm only noticing that now.

So just when I wanna spend more time on G+, it gets all wonky on me. (I'm guessing because everyone ELSE wants to be there too?) I somehow messed something up in my stream, or they're having a glitch. It'll give me friends' posts in real time, but it shows me only my posts prior to the time I load the page. And one page shows all my circles intact, but another page tells me I have no circles set up.

Anyone else having trouble like this?

I'm really attached to my Facebook, because most of my friends of 15+ years are there, but I'm starting to take a liking to Google+. The games are really neat, and I love the fact that I can just easily share things with certain circles without having to filter by list. It's a nice way to be more selective.

Hopefully not in public: you get arrested for that.
