I haven't experiemented with Google+ yet. Are you also on FB?
I used to be on FB but took all my "stuff" outta there and completely got out. For some reason, I just didn't want all that stuff "out there".
Do you have to sign up just like FB? Very curious as to how you like it so far.

I am on Google+ but can't compare it to Facebook since I am not on Facebook. I trust Google a bit more than Facebook on privacy and security.

Just signed up based on your invite Jerry. Haven't had a chance to figure it out yet. I'm on Facebook, but not actively, so I'm not sure how they compare.
Less people on G+ than FB. With so many of my contacts on FB that aren't on G+ it's impossible to quit FB just yet. Just hope that days comes as I am sick and tired of FB making changes to the page layout, security settings, etc.

Google+ taking on FB is like David and the giant. It will be a while before Google+ will make a big impact on FB. So far, I like the control features of Google+ much better than FB. Google+ allows users to opt in, while FB requires users to opt out. I believe that modus operandi (FB/opt out) will eventually be a thorn in the side for FB. Time will tell. Meanwhile, I will continue to build my circles in Google+ and see what happens in FB. Technology - you gotta love it.

I've been on FB since 2008. Everytime there is a change, it drive me nuts. Our blog is on Google. When when Google blogger makes a change, there is an option to move to the change or keep the former.
Also, I am a Googlite because I use lots of Goggle products.

I just keep getting more and more spam about joining Google+ and I am already pretty tired of it.

I agree that it will be an uphill climb for Google + against FB but I prefer G+ over FB. The hardest part is breaking the "force of habit".

Just signed up on Google+, I'm on FB but both my sons are defecting to Google+ so I'll probably use both. I don't spend a lot of time on these sites but it does help connect with some people. I do like the way Google+ is set up, but I agree with some of the others that time will tell.

Been on G+ since the beginning. Going to exit FB eventually. G+ just today added brand, (businesses), to the mix, so it'll take off now

I use both FB coz everybody's there and Google+ coz it's photo friendly. Plus with the circles you can choose who see's what posts and vice versa. If your a photog, this is worth reading.
And this is worth watching

I've dropped FB and probably won't sign up for Google+. I prefer an email group or a forum on a particular topic.

Mary and I have used Google+ from the beginning. We can establish a circle of just our family and "really important" friends. Facebook is more of a lurking kind of system. We look to see what everyone is doing but the Google+ fits us better. We also use the Google products for everything else including to help manage our web site so it is a natural.

Just signed up this past week. A going to run both for now, we'll see. Am still learning how to navigate. I thought circles was a way to organize my contacts - I had no idea they were going to be sending an email to each person!
I got a call from one I don't email much asking if it was ME who had sent the email or if it was spam .... he's kinda paranoid anyway.
Not sure who is even seeing what I am posting.
Now to figure out how to post from my smart phone ....

G+ sends emails to people you add to your circles that aren't members of G+. I did the same thing when I first signed up for G+. Hopefully some of your friends will join G+. The circles are a nice way to separate your friends to better organize your contacts. The nice thing about G+ is you can specify what circles will be able to see your post. That way you don't bother your non-RV friends with posts about your RV adventures :)
Just curious. How many of you are experimenting with Google+ ? They have a clean look and is a good alternative to FB.
