- \u00a0Family, Close Friends, Buds, Work \u00a0Friends, Acquaintances<\/em>\u00a0 and Following…<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It will be great (at some point in the future) is to have EVERYONE under one umbrella. \u00a0However\u00a0 two things that are really clear:<\/p>\n
- \n
- It is making me think as to how to categorize each of the people I know.. \u00a0 Good exercise!<\/li>\n
- I have to decide where my public Profile \u00a0will reside — (It looks like it will be my Gmail account) \u00a0– this is counter what I have been working toward the past couple of years, as I have my own domain, but I am rethinking this…<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n
- \n
- Not \u00a0everyone is on it ( yet ) .<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Although there are 10+million users (and it looks like another $10M next week), not all of my friends are there yet —<\/p>\n
My \u00a0family is having trouble with it at first… — \u00a0Interesting symbiotic “monster” Facebook is…<\/p>\n
To solve this challenge – I found
\u00a0Start G+<\/del>\u00a0(2) \u00a0 for posting\u00a0simultaneously\u00a0 from Google Plus \u00a0to Facebook and\/or Twitter.<\/p>\n- \n
- Simple sharing of \u00a0Picasa Photos with selected \u00a0groups\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
I am not sure if the permissions work, but I love to be able to share my previously private photos. \u00a0I have heard Picasa will be migrated to a new photo sharing service soon, which has many more integration\u00a0\u00a0features \u00a0– I can not \u00a0wait!<\/p>\n
- \n
- Circles \u00a0are private !\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nI am very happy that my “friends” \u00a0do not know what list I put them in… \u00a0Very well thought out! —<\/div>\nNot to confuse the topic, but I am conflicted about displaying the NUMBER of “friends” I have — I have always thought this is a very bad and artificial number …<\/div>\n
- \n
- Permissions are SO \u00a0much easier<\/strong> –<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nDo I need to say anything here?? \u00a0 \u00a0I think all of us have struggled with this…<\/div>\n
- \n
- I trust Google with my information<\/strong> – I have always had \u00a0issues with Facebook –<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nI do not know why, but it is – at least for me — the truth. \u00a0 I really never got into the games in Facebook anyhow…<\/div>\n
I am sure that much more is coming soon:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Google+ for companies and public figures \u00a0– not yet available . \u00a0See this post<\/a><\/li>\n
- Google+ is not available for Google Apps accounts as of yet – because of profiles! \u00a0–
Link to explanation \u00a0here<\/del> (1)<\/li>\n- We talked about the new versions of Picasa and others<\/li>\n
- iOS \u00a0Application \u00a0just came out today !! \u00a0Link to it now<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Aside from the so bad, that is funny<\/em>\u00a0“viral video” I am G+ \u00a0 —\u00a0My first impression is that Google+ \u00a0is a FANTASTIC product \u00a0with TONS of potential, there are still some rough edges, and no one should forget it is a early preview \/ beta release .<\/p>\n
