Thanks LIMIT. I just have to figure which account I want to use. laugh

Google+ is really a big thing right now. Not sure if it will serve me any bennifit as I am not the "social" facebooker and Tweet dropper kind. Twitter is good for some things and Facebook is ruining America, but I guess what is not? laugh

I hope Google+ is as professional as they say. I really link Linked in as it is a good professional social network. I was reading the other day people are willing to sell their sole for a chance at an invite like LIMIT is offering. If someone is on the beta inside and invites you, you are in. If not I guess people have to watch the "Check Back Soon" 24/7 to see if they open or not, as this is the only way. I heard requesting an invite via Google means nothing and keeping your eye open at the sign in page yields results.

I remember when you needed an invite for GMail too. smile . Facebook is pretty buggy, but I'm partial to it right now. It's got a strong foothold and Google will have some work to do for sure.

Remember when Myspace had that foothold? Now you don't ever even hear it mentioned...

Myspace was never mainstream. Large corporations never had myspace accounts or social media specialists positions

Yes they were and they still are using myspace. The nice thing about myspace vs facebook is the ability to edit CSS code and take control of your myspace layout. Hide things, move things, ect, ect. They are able to incorporate more advertisement on myspace for free then they are on facebook.

Is honda or toyota considered a large corporation? What about Best Buy? Perhaps General Motors?

if myspace is still mainstream then why was it just sold dumped for pennies?

“Why did MySpace fail when Facebook thrived? MySpace's failure can be attributed in part to its chaotic design—customizable and confusing in contrast to Facebook's clean lines. And while Facebook rolled out slowly and in an exclusive manner (just to people with a .edu college address at first), MySpace was available to anyone.”

Where did I say they were still mainstream? I said they were and that companies still do use it wink

Or I can go back an edit my other statement so it doesn't confuse anyone. Large corporations did use myspace and still do.

my apoligies, but everything you said that was nice about myspace was also one of the main reasons it failed.

Yes it was bought for $580 million, and just sold for $35million. Most of that money had been made back in an advertising deal with Google.

But lets face it myspace is a thing of the past, and its future is unclear. Even with a $35 million pricetag, its a cheaper startup than starting from scratch. I bet it evolves into something based around music.

but back to google+

I havent spent much time on there. My only complaint so far is that its very limited for functionality from my phone. With out a PC is impossible to dynamically change anything from your phone. You can only view stuff.

Also the check in feature that is supposed to compete with 'foursquare' lacks alot of stuff. I cant check in to anything remotely close, nor can I add any places I am at.

I agree with you 100% on its old news and made for music now.

I found an extension for Google Chrome that allows you to see your Fbook stream in G+, simply called "Google+Facebook". Looks like it adds a button to the top of the G+ button bar which allows you to select the Fbook stream and keep it separate from your G+ stream.
