it's not gonna topple facebook any time soon, if ever. it's a very decent alternative though. i hope g+ can stay a bit loftier (in terms of the overall atmosphere) than facebook because that's the one thing i hate the most about fb. it's a haven for shitwads at times.

I can see this definately killing off FB in time, at least the people over 30. I personally like it much more than FB. FB has become what MySpace was in many ways....over run by kids. google+ is more like a cross between LinkedIn and FB....not all business and not all kiddie like either.

The day they bring in Farmville or Pirates will be the day that google+ will falter. keep it free of crap. Less crap, the better!

Jason...btw, you had been very easy to find! Am sure you can guess who I am on G+

[Jason]

yeah i just added you, man.

and i totally agree with everything you said about g+. here's to hoping it stays legit because if it doesn't become a haven for tweenie boppers, i'll stick with it.

Not that this is a shock, but there was a recent article that makes note of how your info is being used by our local and federal authorities without your knowledge on FB.

We've told you before that Facebook treats its users like products. That companies now exist to search for your Facebook account and tell your bosses your secrets. That people are quitting Facebook en masse. Now, there's yet another reason you might want to make the switch to Google+: Facebook has gotten into the habit of allowing police to scour users' profiles without their consent.
According to a new report from Reuters and Westlaw, federal judges have granted at least 24 search warrants since 2008 allowing law enforcement officials to snoop around people's Facebook accounts. Some of the warrants sought things as innocuous as status updates, but others gave access to friend requests, photos, event calendars and personal messages. And because of Facebook's inherent interconnectedness, it's presumed that police got to see not only their targets' information, but that of their friend groups, too. How many times did Facebook users challenge these searches as illegal under the Fourth Amendment? Zero, but experts theorize that's because Facebook hasn't been letting users know when cops are tossing their online lives.
Neither Facebook nor law enforcement is obligated to tell people when their accounts have been legally compromised. But other tech companies, like Twitter and Google, have official policies that say they will alert users before allowing police to comb their profiles. Twitter even went to court earlier this year to fight a federal ruling that would have barred them from notifying users of subpoenas. Facebook, on the other hand, has neglected to inform at least one user that he was under surveillance recently. Nathan Kuemmerle, a psychiatrist, was being accused of dealing prescription drugs when a police officer submitted comments he'd made on "Mafia Wars" as a reason he should be denied bail. Kuemmerle's lawyer told Reuters he'd never been informed of the Facebook warrant, and that the cop actually lied at the bail hearing, saying he got the "Mafia Wars" information from "an undercover source."
Even one case like this would be appalling, but records show dozens, and things are getting worse as more people join Facebook. There have already been 11 search warrants issued for Facebook profiles this year, which is almost double the amount issued in all of 2010.
With more and more people spending more and more time online, it makes sense for police to start searching social-networking sites for clues. But you'd think—or at least hope—that people who profit off your trust wouldn't consider you so expendable. It's moments like this when a notorious IM exchange between Mark Zuckerberg and a friend from immediately after Facebook had been founded seems quite prescient:

Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
Zuck: Just ask.
Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS
[Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?
Zuck: People just submitted it.
Zuck: I don't know why.
Zuck: They "trust me"
Zuck: Dumb fucks.

i thought there would be like a subspace circle you could link too and others could join it by clicking on it

so is this you individually invite ppl to your circles or is there a public group you can sign up for

i dunno if i'm making sense never used facebook

[Jason]

you have to add people individually, but you can create your own "subspace" circle and then add people to that cricle so that you can share to all of your spaceships buds in one fell swoop

Hmmm.....did I say that? I think not, but assume and make quotes that do not refelect what I am saying. Why not just make your point and post it rather than speculate.
