What about Google+

[Crimson Phoenix]

What do you think about it?  Is anybody planning to switch over from Facebook to Google+?

I deleted my Facebook account several months ago because of privacy issues and because my "wall" was always filled with shallow, stupid comments and family pictures of people I didn't know or barely knew. 

I'm wondering if Google+ be any better?  I use Google mail and Google services every day so the integration of all services should be great.

I thought you always enjoyed the family photos I've been posting on your wall?

Pretty funny BAMAWV.

Why don't you post some of those family pictures here?  I would re-post them, but the one with you wearing the War Eagle shirt might be embarrassing.

Ward Beagle was a classmate of mine and it was his shirt.

Google+ has stopped sending out invites for the time being, btw.  I do love GMail, but I don't use any of their other services.

I've had a Facebook account since my days at UA ~10 years ago.  Back then it was a college only community - if you didn't have a valid email address with a .edu extension, then you could not form an account.

Now the whole online social networking craze annoys me.  I rarely get on Facebook because I can't stand to read everyone's status updates.  From the mundane "By the pool with the kids" or "Gotta run to town..." to the vague, I'm-begging-you-to-ask-me-what-I-mean posts like "I will get through this..." or "Can't believe it's going to end like this...", they all annoy me.

Maybe it's a personality flaw of mine though...

Facebook is the most virally infected web site on the innerwebs. I've never been on that web site because of that. I don't know about Google+, but Gmail is more secure than yahoo, hotmail and most other e-mail services. HTH.

Gmail has just announced a revamp to make their page less crowded. Should be good.

I use Firefox for browsing, and have rarely had an issue ( never more than a warning) with viruses etc. Firefox

I use Firefox as well. I find it to be much better than IE.

I had a friend who used Gmail on his laptop. He was in London and left his laptop in a taxi. He used his phone to email people to tell them he had lost his laptop.  When he flew back to the States he checked his Gmail account. He had new spam emails from companies wanting to sell him a new laptop.

He felt that Gmail (google) had looked at his emails and new he had lost his laptop. He said he felt a privancy issue from then on concerning his Gmail account.

Just sayin'

It's well known that GMail scans emails for keywords and posts customized subject-driven ads.

Well, I just joined Facebook a couple of days ago.  I didn't mean to run everybody off.  I really have no interest in it, but I kept getting friend requests through my e-mail account from some guys I worked with down in Costa Rica.

Where have you been Coach?   Why don't you post much anymore?

[SUPERCOACH]

I'm really busy these days.  I have a couple of different startup ventures going on top of my real job.  Hopefully something will take off and I can drop the real job some day.
