So about 1 week ago Google launched the Google+ social network with plans to rival Facebook. Here is the problem I have with it.
I would like to try it out, I signed up right away on their page to "Keep Me Posted" so that I could get access to the social network. I have not yet been able to access the network as it says "We've temporarily exceeded our capacity. Please try again soon."
Now I do have a friend on Google+ and he sent me a invite to join, I got the email from Google saying I have a invite, I followed the instructions and then when I was on the Google page it said "We've temporarily exceeded our capacity. Please try again soon." What's with that?! I guess you can be on Google+ but your friends can't? Pretty social if you ask me.
Also why would I switch from Facebook? All my friends are on Facebook already. Are they all gonna jump ship from Facebook to Google+? I know that back in the day a lot of us were on MySpace and moved over to Facebook because MySpace became crap, but in this case Facebook isn't really that crap. Sure they have started adding ad's, but then I guess they have to make money, and I'm sure Google will start placing their ad's on Google+ at some point if they are not already.
I guess when I eventually get let into the unsocial network I shall join, but I also joined Google Wave and Google Buzz, yet I never used them.... I just kept to Facebook and Twitter. Let's hope this time round Google+ is worth while, but right now I can't see why I'd use it more than the Facebook or Twitter....
reason why you can't get into google plus is because they announced that it was by invitation from google only you can be a part of google+ buddy! after the beta version has been tested it will be officially open to the public. hence y you can't get in. and my beef with facebook isn't the ads. i'm all about free enterprise my friend but facebook should stop trying to add dumb shit to it to try and be better than google as a search engine. i'll tell you what social media/bookmarking sites... that will be googles demise not FB ~ your co worker "Valderrama"
