I'm in +, but nothing about the layout or anything has ever made me expore the possibilities. Facebook's OK, mostly.

I don't know anybody who uses Google + yet. And I mainly use Facebook to "like" different things, and basically use it as a news feed nowadays.

Facebook has made some awful changes in the past year or so, but I'm not sure I would be using it more even if they kept it as is. I don't do the social networking stuff nearly as much as I used to, and I've heard Google+ isn't that great. If someone can convince me otherwise then I'll look into it, but not right now.

I don't like FB's new updates but the last post from anyone on G+ was back in August.

i make regualr google + posts, its reall nice if you have a smartphone, as all the photos you take are auto-uploaded to google+ where you can choose witch ones to share. i really like their chat, (that includes visdeo chat, whiteboards, youtube, and conferencing) but then again, its only good if people are using it, and i think that is the problem currently(but that can be attributed to having a closed beta). I remember when you had to be invited to facebook.  thoes were the good ol days.

No one I know uses +, so it's pretty pointless for me. However Facebook keeps finding ways to suck more

I wholeheartedly wish that it was G+ that had the 750 million users and not facebook. Much prefer its interface and features and the google integration of everything, while a bit scary, is really practical. But at the moment I don't see how it can convince everyone to migrate, as to become really useful. Facebook however, is indeed trying its best to help G+'s cause. It's like they want to become even worse than MySpace.

something i got emailed to me concerning another social networking platform that is still in beta
its called Diaspora Dear Friend of Diaspora* - Thanks again for your interest in joining the Diaspora* community, and for your patience. We�re working on getting your invite out to you as quickly as possible, and we�re still committed to getting it to you by the end of October. We�re pushing out hundreds of thousands of invitations as quickly as we can -- thanks for bearing with us. As promised in our previous message, we want to tell you a little more about why we believe so strongly in Diaspora*'s mission: to build a new and better social web, one that's 100% owned and controlled by you and other Diasporans. Diaspora*'s distributed design is a huge part of it. Like the Internet itself, Diaspora* isn't housed in any one place, and it's not controlled by any one entity (including us). We've created software that lets you set up and run your own social network on your own "pod" (or server) and connect your network to the larger Diaspora* ecosystem. You can have a pod all to yourself, or one for just you and your friends, or your family, giving you complete ownership and control over your personal social information (including your identity, your posts, and your photos) and how it�s all stored and shared. Or you can simply join one of more than 20 open pods.[1]  This means you can do what you want. You can express yourself candidly, and be your authentic self. You can go by whatever name you like on Diaspora*. Pseudonyms are fine, and this both protects you (if you want to say something your boss or your parents disagree with) and opens the door to real connection. Here�s how one blogger and Diasporan put it: Maybe his kind words mean so much to me because T is someone I've met through a [pseudo]nym -- he got to know the real me's ideals and beliefs, and liked that person... A compliment from [him] is based on my own sincerity, and thus, has a certain purity. It is untainted by perceptions of how I look, what I'm wearing, and so on. Given that, I value it especially highly.[2] This kind of authentic connection brings back the social freedom that made the Internet awesome in the first place. And this is just the beginning. You can make great connections with anyone in the Diaspora* ecosystem, not just the people on your own pod, because the pods are linked together. You can also use Diaspora* as a home base for your outbound posts on Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr, writing to them all from Diaspora*. In the future, you�ll be able to monitor your inbound streams from Diaspora* as well. Yet our distributed design means no big corporation will ever control Diaspora*. Diaspora* will never sell your social life to advertisers, and you won�t have to conform to someone�s arbitrary rules or look over your shoulder before you speak. And because your information is yours, not ours, you�ll have the ultimate power -- the ability to move your profile and all your social data from one pod to another, without sacrificing your connection to the social web. Over time, this will bring an end to the indifferent, self-serving behavior that people can�t stand[3] from the walled gardens that dominate social networking today. When you can vote with your feet for the environment where you feel safest, the big guys will have to shape up, or risk losing you. We�re still building this move-your-profile capability, as well as other key features. It�s hard work, but we�re building the future we want to see, with incredible community support. Diaspora* is a genuine community effort. More than 160 people have contributed to our code, putting us in the top 2% of all open source projects tracked by Ohloh.[4] Hundreds more volunteers have translated Diaspora* into 13 of the world�s spoken languages so far, with another 32 translations in progress. Thousands of Diasporans have given us more than 3,000 points of feedback. (We�re listening closely, and building the features you�re asking for as fast as we can.) And of course, thousands of donors have helped pay for our development, and hundreds of thousands of people -- including you -- are patiently waiting for access to try it out. Thanks again for your patience. We can�t wait to see you here, and to build a brighter future together. Sincerely, - Dan, Max, Ilya, Sarah, Yosem, and Peter Wednesday, September 21st, 2011 [1]: JoinDiaspora.com is just one of the pods within the Diaspora* ecosystem. Here�s a directory of some of the others that are open to new users (there are even more out there too, including many that are private, not open). Edited by SKwid - 26 Sep 2011 at 3:39pm |
