what is google+?

 

[jrgilles]

Social networking site. Invite only right now. Kind of an enhanced gmail, but also incorperates some aspects of sites like facebook or twitter. Used for following friends or communicating specified groups of people (such as family, reefers, friends, etc.)

LOL Seriously? You might wanna double check your numbers there Mike. Facebook is fast approaching 1 BILLION members. As of the first of this month, Facebook had over 750 million members.

Google+ is currently estimated to have 4.5 million and has actually put a halt to new member sign ups.

Really I was watching a show the other day and those were the nubers they were saying. So I just repeated them, for me not really interested in either other then +1 for the site here cant hurt. lol

Perhaps, but any challenge to FB is good as Zuckerburg has taken far too many liberties with people's data without their permission or consent. I am a big proponent of competition as it creates innovation. Plus there are no stupid games on google+.

Yet....remember facebook also started as a exclusive site for Ivy league schools...and that was after it branched out from being Harvard only.

Google Wave

 

[akunochi]

You're such a negative nancy! I;m still not joining though

 

[returnofsid]

LOL Hey, I didn't even mention Google Accelerator, Google Answer (which you had to pay for), Google Video (eventually they gave up and bought YouTube), GoogleX, Google Dodgeball, Google Buzz, Google Lively.... Okay, I could go on and on, but then I might be called a Negative Nancy...lol.

Google Wave

Ah, I had forgotten about Google Wave.

 

[returnofsid]

Ah, I had forgotten about Google Wave.

Everyone forgot about it...lol. That's how big of a flop it was!

 

[rainydave]

Yeah...though when you make $9 billion in revenues in one quarter you are entitled to a few flops.

 

[akunochi]

LOL Yes yes you are.

 

[mojoreef]

Man their shares just went up like $ 70.00 per share in one day!! However one may dislike them, they make money.

[returnofsid]

Don't get me wrong, I admire Google and really like a lot of software and utilities that they've created. However, they've sure had a larger share of flops, than most companies...lol. As was mentioned, at the income level, they're allowed a few...lol. However, at their level of popularity, they're also allowed a lil' ridicule...lol. Look at the Love/Hate relationship, most of us have with Facebook, or even Walmart. It's really no different. You don't get the be the BIGGEST, without stirring the pot.

 

[returnofsid]

Regardless of my negativity, posted previously, I joined Google+...lol.
