Google invites users to "Hangout"

[JaidynM]

GOOGLE opened its Google+ social network to the world today, dropping the need for an invitation to join the internet giant's rival to Facebook.

And it is the perfect time, believe it or not, because Facebook is making yet more stupid changes in a desperate need to combat some of Google's + features, but this resulted in messing up Facebook even more. I only have a few friends to convince to join +, then I'm getting rid of FB once and for all.

G+ doesn't compare to FB in terms of features/apps IMO

 

[Gornot]

Well, that's true... Not yet, anyways
But Facebook has become bloated and OVERbloated with stuff we don't really need, or use as the matter of fact.

Depends how the person uses Facebook

 

[Gornot]

Well, no matter how you use it, I really don't think we need to be NOTIFIED when a close friend makes a post if we already have lists for them. This new Facebook looks like +, Twitter and the old FB all in one giant pot of idiocy.

Honestly, I don't think Facebook will be overtaken but Google+. I don't use Facebook all that much and I hate the new changes they're making. The problem is though, Facebook is already so big. It'll be extremely difficult to overtake a social networking site that's gone in that far already. If they were taking it on in it's early days, they might have stood a chance. But too many people have gotten used to Facebook to actually stop using it and switch to a totally new social networking site.

I'm a bit of a Luddite where social networking sites are concerned as I get enough interaction from Mrs Seavixen to last a lifetime.

In fact, I haven't spoken to her for 18 months - we haven't fallen out though - I'm just waiting for her draw her breath!

g+ all the way

The best thing about G+? It has made facebook up their game with video calling and the such. Google Plus is OK, but people are lazy, why would they want to switch?

i agree with you on this. facebook is doing way too much these days. i dont want to play stupid games or have all my info online. i just want to post pics, message, chat, and look at my friends pages

What a pity, we even cannot visit facebook in my country

 

[Gornot]

That's great! You'll save yourself a lifetime of stupidity you won't be able to get away from. If there is such a thing as addition to internet, Facebook is to blame xD

google+ in my opinion has brought a fresh approach to social networking its not bloated its easy to use easy to control the whole concept of google integration with all their products they offer is nothing to be snubbed at considering its mostly a free service, FB just seems to be over written now as time has aged it.
