Google+ invites are going out[views:13223][posts:76]______________________________________ [Jun 29,2011 9:21am - the_reverend ""] http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/28/google-invite-received-we-go-hands-on/ I'm waiting for an invite... but we'll see. I have a feeling this will roll into android nicely and hopefully with video chats. |

| _______________________________________ [Jul 7,2011 6:16am - ghey_faguettes ""] Someone please explain to me what the big deal is? |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 7,2011 10:07pm - the_reverend ""] Got my invite! |
| _________________________________ [Jul 7,2011 11:33pm - Doomkid ""] :( Do want. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 7,2011 11:35pm - the_reverend ""] oh, I didn't get it yet. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 7,2011 11:39pm - Alx_Casket ""] I've been partying non-stop since I got it. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 8,2011 2:03am - dertoxia ""] I don't want to get all conspiracy theory-y.... err is that right? whatever. Anyway, I dunno how much trust we should be putting into Google/our government (lets just call it the Googlement). I started filling out all my info in my profile and I just got a chill. We're supposed to just tell the Googlement exactly who we are, what we do, where we are, what we like, how to distract us, and exactly how many people we know? What happens when you anger the Googlement? Seems it'd be pretty easy for them to track you down, make you disappear and keep everyone you know from talking about it. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 8,2011 10:41am - Yeti ""] ^bingo. you are all insane. i know this information can be found anywhere, but why do you willingly submit your entire lives to the eyes of the internet? i just don't get it. UNPLUG. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 8,2011 10:52am - ark ""] google already has my name and all my personal and work emails. i'm exposed as it is. yeti is right, you are all insane. countries use crowdsourcing on google, facebook, etc to sniff out dissenters and make them disappear. think you're safe because you're american? even something so benign as independent companies archiving everything you put on social networking sites, they will sell it to the highest bidder. dertoxia, there's no conspiracy, giving your personal info to people that want to profit from it is stupid to begin with. nice to see some competition for facerape, so fuck em both. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Jul 8,2011 11:44am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Just got an invite. So far I don't really give a shit about aside from just checking it out. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 8,2011 12:51pm - the_reverend ""] when I clicked on the invite, it said "not accepting now" |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 8,2011 12:51pm - the_reverend ""] oh, I'm in now. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 8,2011 12:59pm - arktouros ""] my abominable hatred for social networking aside, i think google+ will do well, because everyone has google accounts already, and they will make huge bank combining it with all their other services, to know exactly where you are and what you do all day. |

| _____________________________ [Jul 8,2011 1:13pm - Yeti ""] it'll do well because people are fucking lemmings and will follow what's popular straight off the edge of a cliff. you are a slave, and you are proud of it. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 8,2011 2:14pm - Doomkid ""] On the internet, having a good product matters more than what is popular. Remember how popular myspace was until people realized that FB was a much better executed project? And just how is google+ or social networking in general a cliff? |

| ____________________________ [Jul 8,2011 8:17pm - pam ""] I do not care who knows about my occupation or what I'm having for dinner. I really don't. |

It is a curious line in the sand to draw. i know that, that's why i said the information is readily available anyways, but at least it takes some effort to obtain, and in the case of what you listed, at least those are tools necessary for a semi-normal life in society. But this desire to offer up your entire life electronically to the Skynet search engine for no real gain, or real purpose is just bizarre to me. |

| _________________________________ [Jul 11,2011 1:24pm - Doomkid ""] I love that the privacy settings on Google+ are embedded into each step of editing. Having spent way too many hours trying to figure out FB's privacy settings every time they change it, this makes me feel much more in control of my content. |

Nobody's making you give up every detail of your life... don't do any status updates, don't "like" any pages, it can be used as a chat feature much like AIM but online. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 11,2011 2:02pm - Lamp ""] I say this too because I was reluctant to join Facebook for the longest time, but people just don't use AIM anymore, everything's done through either that or text messages. And Facebook has helped me connect or reconnect with a few people and subsequently helped me do some really positive stuff with life, or at the very least stuff I needed to get out of the way. So despite how annoying it can be at times, there is that. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 11,2011 3:17pm - Yeti ""] no i understand, social networking is a great tool, I just find it creepy that people are so quick to put their entire lives for all to see. regardless of whether or not any "privacy" features are used, it's just weird to me. |
