i have submitted my mail id for Google + so far my account is not activated, maybe google is trying to experiment with the platform before throwing it open to the public.  I am sure google + will be another good social networking platform with novel features and high security.  Pl do pen your feedback whether Google + is worth it

Now is there some way to keep a low profile on Google + ?? So many people who I have no idea about are adding me to their circles!! But then thank god! I am not required to accept any frind requests and everything I share remains in my Circles!!

I believe that is the purpose of circles, you can share limited info to circle of yours, some of the members whom you don t trust or really gel you can put them into acquaintance or stranger circle, thus you can segregrate

I have been using Google+ from 1st day and I quite like it. The exclusivity and simplicity are very good, even the android app is pretty neat, plus the whole UI of dragging people to a circle is fun. I also love to drag and throw people out of circle when needed.

Google + has given prominence to pictures and videos, even the circle grouping is good feature, got to try hangout after enabling videocamSmile

You're part of a small group of people who are helping to test Google+. When you share something with people who are not yet able to use Google+, they will receive it via email but won't be able to comment or engage with the content like other Google+ users. They'll be able to join Google+ as we let more users in over time. This is a short message from Google

Hi Umesh,

I tried Google+ but somehow prefer Facebook... Hoping to see many changes in G+ to make it better.. My post on why I prefer Facebook to G+ is here: http://www.indiblogger.in/indipost.php?post=65586

The title you have entered while making your submission looks a bit funny. It says: Why I prefer facebook to Google (and not Google +)

Can ever people stop using the services of Google!

 

Ranjith

I liked that point regarding communities and pages pointed out by you towards the end.

umesh derebail

Every product has some drawbacks, so must GOOGLE + has negative shades, editing feature is good, and hangout seems to be promising

On entering into Google+, I just could not understand what I have to do next. Smile With whom do I connect? Myself? 

But the visual effects are appealing, especially those related to circles and the way in which a deleted circle moves out of the screen rolling. 

Hope that Google+ succeeds.

You enter my name or someone whom you want to align with from google, add derebail2008@gmail.com, let us check out whether i will be getting an invite

I already have a Google + account and arranged a giveaway on my site,if anyone wants here as well ping me your email address dont start posting your email here address for spammers to take it and spam you

 

And yeah after the failure of Buzz & Wave,its really a nice product from Google and will surely beat facebook in upcoming days as people are already pissed off with the privacy fetures in fb,facebook already got mad after Google+ launch atleast at my side servers arent working chat option sometimes coming at top etc etc

Google has bowled a googly to many FB users i suppose with invitation route, make them to crave for the same

Neeraj Rawat

Yeah they are still experimenting with it that is why not open for all and then also they are getting plenty of request,facebook ignored many things even people kept on asking on their help pages that Google never did and would be the result for Google+ going up and FB down

Something unusual did happen. The invite was sent to my g mail address1. I had created a new account 2. But still clicking the join button in 1 automatically logged me into 2. Looks starnge.

Ranjith please don t hurry up and let your mail account be hacked....it will be a big loss

Too big a process. Had to enter the captcha thrice. The sound based verification emitted some strange sounds that I could not understand. And next, the message 'Some unusual activity has been detected' has been displayed. I had to verify with a mobile. 

Can google make it simpler?

I was too disappointed on seeing this mesasge:

This feature is not available for your account. You must be over a certain age to use this feature.

Creating a new account right now.

Well i have done it one because it feels special to have g+ invite :P

two: most of my friends started using g+ (not that they are not active on FB) leaving me no option. Time will tell who suvives but according to me g+ is a potential competitor.

But hey mark zuckerberg has promised some surprize in a month hopefully to keep FB users glued. 

umesh derebail

So Facebook seems to be waking up, best feature for them is to have movie reviews or sports live updates

vaibhav jadhav

Yeah,

i got my g+. Its better than FB in the sense that you can edit your comments. If your family members are in network then you can post uncensored  content limited to your friends.

It doesnot have features like 'notes' to post your articles. being new i am still to explore more about communities.

Yes but since the sharing posts are without character limitations, you can share your articlees on the newsfeed itself and tag only certain friends.
