Yesterday, after following a link to a link to Mark Cuban's Google+ gallery of old computer ads, we clicked back to Cuban's Google+ profile, where we found multiple public galleries of his rugby years at Indiana University. Cuban had no idea the photos had been made public. After we asked if we could post a few, he supplied a full slideshow narrative

What the fuck is Google+? Why does Google insist on doing these weird nerds only launches for their shit?

People who have the exclusive thing: HEY GUYS LOOK AT GOOGLE PLUS IT'S SO COOL. I'M IN IT. CHECK IT OUT! REALLY GLAD I'M IN IT!
People who don't have exclusive thing: oh man, i really want that thing that i can't have.

Whoever Matt is should stop inviting me to Google+ cause I still get a bullshit screen about exceeding capacity, I'll just join in when its free to everybody. Thanks a lot though man.

When I add someone to a circle for an invite, the whole circle gets the message. I can't just send it to individuals. I got a bunch of requests so that is why you got multiple messages. I'm done now though so you won't get anymore.

Nah, it's just stupid.

The 'over allocated' stuff its really strange, it's Google, they're smart but with so many missteps in their social networking software attempts I really wonder if they know what they're doing. I would love to see Google+ thrive, and I hope Google stop being knobs and get lots and lots of people into an app I will actually enjoy using. Ugly, uninspired, boring, unintuitive, some words Facebook brings to mind.

Seriously, what the fuck is Google+? Google launches something like every 3 months that is some variation on Google ___ and no one ever hears about it again.

Just like Gmail. What a failure that was.

There are alternate stream views. One of the biggest requests that should be pushed out soon is setting a certain circle as the default stream.

Is there a way to create notes on a person or change how we view their name? I don't recognize people like Cajole immediately and it would help if I could put a note to remind me who Joel is.

Not yet.

I was told of a way to use an alias for certain circles but not in the opposite direction. For instance, I have it so my profile says "BlueTsunami" for people I add from GAF (and put in their respective circle) and no where else. It would be cool if Google adds something like you're suggesting seeing as how their system seems more conducive towards following and friending people you don't know in real life.

That's exactly why I've always thought that when Facebook's demise comes, it will be faster than almost anyone expects. They've made it sooooo easy to share that data with every other app in the universe that they are effectively just handing the baton on to the 'next thing'. Not saying it will be G+, mind. But whatever it is will just allow a one-click take-my-whole-FB-account-with-me deal and people can safely kiss FB goodbye.

Go to your profile screen > Edit Profile > Scroll down to Other Name > type in the name you want and click custom in the "Who can view this" drop down

It'll allow you to choose whichever circles you've created

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #105 on:** July 10, 2011, 03:40:46 AM »

i don't think it replaces the main name on your profile. it just add's an "other names" section in your "about" tab. at least from what i can see. use "view profile as..." with someone in your gaf circle and see what i mean.

It's impossible for you to hit it if you upload your photos through Google+, as they'll always be resized to 2048px if they're over that limit. And photos 2048px or less don't count towards the 1 GB of storage.

You can upload larger images through Picasa and they won't be resized, but anything over 800px in Picasa counts towards the 1 GB. Videos longer than 15 minutes on both Google+ and Picasa also count towards the 1 GB limit.

I bought 20 GB of storage for Picasa earlier this year so obviously it's not a concern for me, even less so now.
