So finally entered the Google + family last week and it does feel good after reading the below:
Pooja's google + profile
And you feel more like an excited kiddo with a new toy when you read this:
Google + Trial message
Will post more as I dabble into it but a few things don’t go unnoticed.
Google + has aligned almost every feature with the “circles” you create. Except Photos and Video…..really? Or am I seeing it wrong? Your profile settings get configured, your posts too and not your pics? Hmm……
How do I get people who add me to their lists to not see my profile at all? You can block but not hide! Privacy hindrance.
But I do love the Post to circles feature. That way, everyone in my circles is not subject to all posts/status updates I make….
Overall I am liking it and yes, I feel the breath of fresh air after Facebook – something different, you definitely can do so much more….More later!
On another note, the Plus word now does not bother me anymore…it’s the Buzz (and Google , there is no pun intended here!). After a few frustrating plus sizes (feet and dress included – yes, Pooja is adding another + to her family!), here is a Plus I am so comfortable with.
Here are some useful articles I found:
- More on the Google Blog
- Google Plus
- How it’s viewed outside the US – Australia, India, England
- Tech Crunch
Thanks Google!
You made my day!
