google+

Well I went and got myself a google+ account. I must say very cool so far. While it doesn't have a lot of the apps FB has, thats possibly a good thing for me, It has a cleaner fresher appearance about it. I also have a fetish for shiny new things =oB. Of course it means I also now have another time waster which will probably cause me to get into trouble with so much work to do around the place at the moment.


I also like the exclusivity of it at the moment invites only. psst its a secret but I can invite you if your interested, but you didn't hear that from me. kind of makes you feel like when we at school and teachers pet was chosen all the time to try all the cool things out. To me it seems quite simple as long as you watch the  videos supplied to you.  Took me a couple of days to realize just cause people add you to their circle doesn't mean  they can read anything you put on your wall if you haven't added them to your circles, oh and don't get me started on the circles( I just think they are the cutest little things).


At the moment  its hard to get too excited about it all as I dont have many friends on my account so interaction is at a minimum, for me its all about working out how my shiny new toy works and playing with the buttons. As a female I can tell you I am quite apt at pushing buttons from time to time =o). Not that I would admit that to  hubster of course.


So my thoughts so far on G+.. in time I think it has the potential to kick FB's hiney. I think it will force FB to lift its game as well. for too long its had the monopoly of being the popular kid in the yard, a new kid just moved in and its gaining brownie points so far by being simple easy to use and super helpful with any problems. My only  gripes would be finding  friends is difficult at this stage because of accessibility and the plainness of  it. I loved Bebo because of all the pretties we could put up. we could decorate our pages to incorporate our personalities and express our selves. So G+ if your listening out there in cyberland, bring in some pretty borders or background colours and you  will find the FB die hards even  relent, cause we all love the pretties!
