Social Networking

So Facebook has done another layout update... As usual, there are a bunch of outraged status updates from people unhappy with the slight redesign. Admittedly I bitched a bit when they changed the way the chat app works. Ah well... If you don't like it Google+ is out now.

Well actually it's been out since June but it was by invite only. Now it's been made available to everyone. Having bought up Blogger.com, YouTube and of course the search engine that started it all... Google is poised to attempt at giving Facebook some healthy competition in the internet social media realm. Shit just got real!




So I started up an account on G+ and let's just say I won't be deleting my FB just yet. Lol! Observations: Contacts are organised in circles... Friends, Family, Acquaintances, and Following. Also you can create new circles for Work or Clubs. I could easily see people ignoring this feature and just putting all contacts in the friends circle. Also I noticed instead of a like button for posts, they have a +1 button... Hmmm... You know, it's a lot like Facebook except it doesn't have as much people.

So I'm gonna take a chance here and put myself out there. Do you have a Google+ account, or are thinking of making one? Feel free to add me. My name on G+ is "Wolf Fuchamer" Now find me, add me to a circle. If you wanna be less creepy about it, send me a message to let me know. :)
