| Google+ is a new social media system. You create circles and add people. I made a circle called Strangers and added Linus Torvalds (guy who wrote linux), he has just finished kernel #3 (well done Linus!) and posted magical photo of Hawaii where he is currently snorkeling. To be honest, I feel uncomfortable stalking other people. especially famous ones where you are in the company of thousands of other voyeurs.... It is also a complete sausage fest, facebook was designed for the girls where Google's native population I think are the geek boy coder types. If I can post png screenshots without them being smeared with jpeg and edit my posts I'm good. If anyone wants an invite email me. <edit> Yuck, large images get converted to 400x400 automatically. |

| Hi, > To be honest, I feel uncomfortable stalking other people. especially famous ones where you are in the company of thousands of other voyeurs.... You can only see his 'public' posts though - ie: you can only see posts he doesn't mind everyone seeing in the first place. > facebook was designed for the girls Well, in a sense I guess - going by the movie anyway! I prefer G+ - the conversations seem far more relevant/specialized, so yeah, it probably does suit 'geeks' like me more. But I think the better comparison is with twitter anyway, with it's more broadcast oriented approach. > Yuck, large images get converted to 400x400 automatically. Images should zoom when you click on them though? |

| I like G+ as well, and the control you have about what to share with whom is a lot better than the spammy Facebook method! |

| I wasn't interested in even trying it. I hated google buzz and didn't want a new social service. I already hate facebook and buzz. Twitter is kinda ok. I like G+ for now. No ads or game requests yet. I like the sharing options |

| I was wondering what kind of interactive options were planned for Google+, for games they have their own monkey, who speaks Java so maybe there is some common ground: http://code.google.com/p/forplay/ |
