I don't like Google Plus.. or is it just me??

I just signed up Google+ today, and I don't see any different from Facebook.. I thought it would be a major change. youknow, with background profile wallpapers. changable background themes. etc etc. BUT NO.. music link on my profile, but no.. check it out if you haven't.. what's the point of having Google+ when it looks just like Facebook anyway?!

Well, I don't like Google+..... Do you??

I don't like social networks. How about that?

Technically its still in beta, but works well enough for the public to sign up now. I like it because its easy to use, cleaner design and more private especially with FBs newest update. I'm sure if it catches on, you'll see more options for it. Hope it catches on, because you know how people are. If a person's friends don't move, they won't move, even if they hate FB.

its 2 big advantages are circles and hangouts

Only thing I like about it is Hangouts

I like it better than Facebook just for the fact that you can keep posts private or out of the public eye without keeping your entire profile there and without friends privy to the material exposing it to the public by liking or commenting on it. Many employers, venders, and customers, are using Facebook search engines to figure out information on employees of other companies. It's been something drilled into us lately at work, and I came very close to killing my Facebook account altogether as a result.

Facebook has been instituting some changes as a result of Google+ features, and that is great of course, but they still seem so rudimentary and I can't easily figure out how to make the best use of them. I feel like Google+ forced them to take some of those things a bit more seriously.

Uh... I don't. It's not that simple anyway. You also need to avoid other friends adding random people -- or even friends of friends. You have no control over their privacy settings, or the fact that their likes or comments expose your content that wouldn't normally be searchable.

The only answer, simple or not, is for Facebook to beef up its options, and I think they realize that now.

I can't test it because I'm 17...Blacklight2

could create alternate gmail account?

I think it's hard to judge it without having a bunch of friends on it to really see how it works but I like how it is set out.cheese_game619

Same here, I have only 4 friends and 5 Acquintances so far, been trying to get some friends to convert. I think G+ has a real chance to outshine FB, but it needs more people to get that chance.

And Instant Upload (my personal favorite feature).

And Hangouts On Air.

Nope, for the simple fact that I've spent years off and on putting together my Facebook. I've got thousands of pictures and hundreds of friends. I'm not going to go find all of them again! F*** that.

I prefer Google plus than facebook.

social networking is lame in my opinion.
