I’ve been on Facebook under duress, simply to be able to see updates from my family. I hate Facebook, always have but this was the easiest method for keeping up those I care about. Google+ may be my salvation if I can get my family to make the switch with me. Google+ blows Facebook away on so many levels. I already use all things Google so its a natural fit and all my services link together seamlessly.

No longer do I have to keep friends and family separate from internet friends. With Google+ Circles I can have everyone on the same site and pick and choose who to share what with. Even my photo albums can be selectively shared. Totally amazing! There there is Huddles for private chats (like Beluga), Hangouts for video chat, GChat right in the sidebar. Controlling your privacy is much easier with Google+. The interface is user friendly. Facebook went from horrible to acceptable. I can never find anything I want on there.

I could go on and on! I’m positive Google+ is here to stay. I never had this level of WOW with Google Buzz (meh) and Google Wave (clunky and confusing).

Google+ is still in field testing mode and requires an invite to get in. I have invites, so find me on Twitter to get one.

If you are already in, you can find me here:
