You can now see who a post was shared with, takes away from the mystery of the circles.

Boooooo to thaaaat. Secret circles were the best. :'(

You can see who you're in the club with.

Someone might be able to deduce what circles you have them in based on the membership, but beyond that, I don't see the problem there. If anyone comments, they're revealed to everyone in the circle anyway, like -- fantasy scenario -- if you have a fuckbuddy circle, it's not exactly a secret when someone responds to your internet booty-call.

well, i think i'll just sit here and concoct imaginary posts to my imaginary fuckbuddy circle for the next coupla hours

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #187 on:** July 19, 2011, 09:36:25 PM »

Is there a way to share a specific (public) G+ post on twitter? Without just linking to your profile? I'm looking for a 'permalink' type option but can't see it. No doubt I am merely aged and blind.

this all just seems like a perfect time to hop off the social train altogether

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #189 on:** July 19, 2011, 09:44:05 PM »

Cajole says you just click on the timestamp to link to an individual post.

I dunno, G+ actually has me happy to talk to people on the Internet again, which is something of a miracle

SAN ANTONIO—For nearly a week, Spurs center Tim Duncan has reportedly emailed his teammates invitations to join him on Google’s new social networking site, Google+. “Please join soon, as I’ve already begun sharing game plans and upcoming events via Google+’s Circles feature,” Duncan wrote in an email Tuesday, adding that team chemistry “may suffer” if people don’t have access to each other’s +1’s. “I’ve pinned the San Antonio Spurs under my Sparks, and you should too as soon as you’ve set up your profiles. And, also, guys, please switch out your old Comcast and Earthlink email accounts for new GMail ones so we can communicate easier via Google Groups.” As of press time, no Spurs player has entered Duncan’s current Google+ Hangout.

Holla.

So when does G+ become relevant? Would be a fun chart to look at.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #194 on:** July 22, 2011, 05:04:26 PM »

that's a disingenuous graph. nobody knew the value or appeal of social networking back when facebook/twitter started. i will be shocked if g+ doesn't plateau soon and quickly.

I think you're forgetting how hot MySpace was for a while. In 2005 and 2006 it was basically on fire. Everyone knew what social networking was about when Facebook, and *especially* Twitter started gaining steam.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #196 on:** July 22, 2011, 05:29:27 PM »

Facebook took a long while to open the doors to everyone. Twitter was launched in July 2006. Most people had never heard of it until probably 2009 or so. I think I'm pretty obsessed with shit like this, and I didn't join Twitter until January 2008.

I barely check my facebook, why the hell would I sign up for another social media pos.

etiolate · « **Reply #198 on:** July 24, 2011, 08:31:16 PM »

I'm on G+ but don't really use it. I use social networking to keep in touch with people who I no longer live nearby or who are busy. Every mass movement from one site to another, from LJ to Myspace to FB, has made me have to recollect a bunch of contacts to essentially do the same thing. I often lose contacts with each move. Social networking hasn't really lead me to meet new people. It's just been like people changing their phone numbers all at once and each time it happens, some people get lost.

We're in semi-crunch, so I've only been using it to manage the hordes of people who have been adding me. It's actually made me a little resentful and twitchy.

having just watched the video on huddles has sold me even further in trying to convince my closest friends in using g+ but also to finally upgrade to a smart phone.
