Google+

I have been using G+ for some time now and I thought it may be time to voice my thoughts so here they are, in a convenient list form, as is my way.

·         Circles are great, if not a bit overblown. I find that although the circling of people into groups is a novel function, it has not yet proved to be very useful. Perhaps in time it will be, we shall wait and see.

·         Gifs are great, but Gifs are very very annoying when you have a stream full of them

·         Perhaps it is the way I have added people to G+ but at this time it seems very detached from my own personal life, closer to a twitter stream than a Facebook one

·         Hangouts are great in theory but I seem to be wary of joining 23 people I don’t know in a video chat room, I mean what if my hair is messy or I have spinach in my teeth?

·         The G+ app runs rings around any Facebook one I have yet used, in both size of app and ease of use, however I find that the web based app is better than the DL app.

·         Instant upload of photos is a fantastic addition, even though I do have to remove pictures of feet and insides of pockets from my album every now and again, the fact that it simply pushes photos to an album and lets you decide whether to publish them or not is great!

So what I am thinking Is that I am probably using G+ all wrong, and that I haven’t yet got enough people added to circles to make them worthwile so if you have any tips or hint please get in contact and educate me.
