I have tried games on Google+ and did not find them as tempting as FB games, although the experience wasn't bad. Had to wait a couple of days to see it on my Google+ profile.

This is something which I have been missing on Google+. Perhaps Google+ should also add some music app soon!!

No mention of Google+'s Draconian naming policies, which already drove people back to facebook?

I like Google+ it's streamlined, powerful and straight to the point. It's the "social media tool for adults".

Google offers everything I need and most thing's I want out of communicating with people over the net. I am totally over FB (and Skype for that matter) and will be looking to jump head-on into the world of Google.
With Google I have email, chat, video/voice calls, social networking, document suite, search, photos and videos ... and more ... why bother with multiple apps, services and websites for these things?

My bosses may not be too happy about this but I'm seriously considering the gradual switch, or at least the inclusion of Google+ in our social networking. It sounds so much better!

If one of us started a site just like Facebook but with different names and colors it would be a copycat situation. Google does it and it's something great. Facebook is unique, Google steals other ideas and adds a twist to it then calls theirs. What is it with this [censored] world.

Google+ is for mature matters. Facebook is for fun.

Or Google+ is for oldies. Facebook is for teens.

But whatever reasons you tell, Facebook has already been a trademark.

It doesn't sound good to use the term "switch" by the way.

1. Agreed
2. If you go to Account > Edit Friends on Facebook, you can create lists which acts much more like Google's circles.
3. Arguable. Google+ seems pretty comparable to the Facebook app.
4. Who goes out of their way to share things. They share as it happens. Plus FB is everywhere now, so it's easy to share a PCW article with the click of a button while I'm reading that PCW article.
5. You don't have to make anything public on FB. You can make yourself "impossible" to find through searches.
6. You can pretty easily setup your account settings to notify you by email, or text message if you get tagged in anything.
7. No one likes to video chat; it's awkward. Text chat is the way to go. Right now it's kind of awkward on G+. There is no easy way to directly address a person.
8. You can create lists on FB and when you are composing a post on FB.com, you can click the lock icon and choose specifically who not to share it with, and can also set that as default
9. Arguable, both have had their blunders. Google also defaults to have all profile details completely public. So be careful.

3. I disagree. G+ mobile is more stable and more error free on my HTC EVO than the FB app.....Haven't had an error message yet with G+ mobile.

If Google could make Google+ despite Facebook's patents, it means that Google+ is something new.

The graphical interface if the first personal computer, the Macintosh 128K, was unique. Bill Gates steals the idea and adds a twist to it then calls it Windows.

Following your "stealing ideas" philosophy, Microsoft also stole the web browser from Netscape.

I've just deleted my Google+ account. I'm not remotely comfortable with the idea of them having that much pooled data on me. It's one thing them knowing what i've searched for, what i've blogged about and the contents of my emails, but quite something else when they can attach all that to photographs of me and detailed information about my whereabouts.

Also password security. We keep hearing how you should have different passwords for different sites. How can you do that when every single thing uses the same Google password? That could be seriously life-[censored].


Well, all someone has to do is hack into your email to reset your Facebook password and break into any other online services you use.

I agree, Google+ is just awesome better as all the rest and that is about it. The integration is flawless and it provides the real internet power and that is Huge.

For various reasons, I have despised FB for a long time and have been patiently waiting for something like this to come along. I only hope that it is not a steep learning curve or a waste of time (like FB)

I am loving Google+ and it's very SEO friendly too. I like it better than Facebook any day.

I am sick of the bully Facebook. We say , "say no to bullies" , yet fb users bow and say yes god i will do your bidding. I refuse. I will not accept the new "Time line" shoved and forced on my. If "GOOGLE+" starts the same crap, I will leave it for good also. Facebook users have become so addicted to facebook that rather than leave, they bow down to the forced changes. I WILL NOT. I will check out Goggle+ and see how it goes.
