Google + [modified]
-
Has anyone tried the new Google+ service? Anyone got any invites for it? Edit: Thanks for the invite guys, sorted now. Aside from the underlying privacy concerns, I never joined facebook as I didn't like the lack of ability to distinguish between friends and colleagues - or at least what they saw! But Google+ seems to address this problem quite nicely. Anyone tried it? Is it any good? Sadly its getting to a point where people look at you kind of funny when you tell them youre not on facebook! I'm hoping Google+ gives me a bit more control of my data allowing me to come out of my leper like social state :)

As you are now experiencing, the handy feature is the organization of it ( people whom are ocd and orderly will love that feature). you only want to talk to workmates? done, what about close friends ONLY knowing you are pregnant? done, the circles are quite handy. You can also drag n drop "people" into the circles you created. Another thing you can do that the other social media don't is that you can drag images from desktop into your profile. There is still the odd bug, but it's not as sketchie as FB. Integration is done well, if you login to your mail, you are in google+ as well for example. the integration is not a " in your face" thing ether. so far, I like it.

yeah, its quite a neat implementation! I like the drag drop nature - seems to work very well. already noticed some things on by default though, for example if I add someone to a circle it lists them publically. granted they are very up-front about this and its very easy to permanently disable the feature. initial impressions, quite good! the app for my android looks quite good too. not sure about the auto-upload my photos feature though!
