Google Plus is now open o the Public (aka: all of you "uncool" people reading this post) which means you can now join and add me! (TheGeekPanel) to your circles. http://Plus.Google.com is where you can sign up. It is an incredibly easy process; only a few clicks, Name, email address etc. and you now have a profile with G+.
I particularly like the feature that you can set each post to who you want to share the content with. I think that Facebook also copied this feature too... no disrespect though Facebook.
One of the main reasons for me to write this post today was the disadvantages of G+. I absolutely LOVE it but here is what I have found:-
- All of my Facebook friends do not want to change to Google Plus
- Not all of my friends on Facebook understand the capabilities of Google +
- Not all of them are very "tech savvy" and example being that they believe the pictures of the so called iPhone 5 (see blog post about iPhone 5 rumors) that EVERYTHING they see on the web is true.
I asked one of them "Do you actually believe that?" Do you know what he answered? He said "They were the real pictures. Not the fake pictures."
HOW DOES HE KNOW THAT THEY ARE REAL? SOMEONE COULD HAVE USED A PROGRAM CALLED ADOBE PHOTOSHOP TO EDIT THEM OR JUST MAKE A STICKER WHICH SAYS iPHONE 5 AND STICK IT ON AN iPHONE 4! HOW STUPID COULD HE BE?
I was actually yelling at the computer as I wrote this. Basically, don't believe everything you see on the internet. NOBODY KNOWS.
Anyway, if you haven't all ready, join Google+. You can get a "Facebook, Twitter experience". It is basically a Facebook page with the Twitter update thingy. Yes. THINGY. Got a problem with that? Just kidding.
I have made up my own...'equation' to Google Plus:
FaceBook+Twitter+Circles+People=G+
All of you know that this is true.
Follow me on Google Plus (search for TheGeekPanel in Google search and you will find us) and on Twitter:
