Is Google+ Better Than Facebook?

[abaez]

I think they merged gmail and youtube accounts awhile back and you had the option to "link" your youtube account to your gmail one when they did this. I'm not sure if they are separate anymore.

 

[Merad]

Does Google+ at least give you some ability to have different levels of friends?

It's mind boggling to me that Facebook still seems to think that I want to give everyone I might be interested in connecting with the same level of access.

i know. i use 2 different accounts specifically so i DON'T have to link youtube with my main gmail account.

yes this is exactly what the "circles are" you can make one that have everyone in it and then you can separate people out to your hearts content

if you post something to a circle that someone is in, it shows they posted by the content is blocked and it says (limited) next to it

Yes, that's one of its main features.

You must be one of those mentally handicapped users of Facebook that everyone talks about.

Facebook has had "circles" for a long time. It's just morons like yourself who don't know how to use them.

hey trident, go eat a fucking dick sandwich. facebook's group feature sucks which is why people are excited about the 'circles' feature on google+. you can stay on FB with your 8 friends if you like...no one is forcing you to switch over.

It works just fine, and it's been there for well over a year. I can't remember how long it's been on there but I think at least since mid 2009.

The fact that people such as yourself marvel that the circles thing is some REVOLUTIONARY AND BRAND NEW CONCEPT is BULLSHIT. It just shows how fucking ignorant you are.

The facebook groups as they are implemented now are a pain to manage. I'm aware of them. I've used them. Google's integration of the concept is better and easier to use. End of story.

How old are you, 5? Grow up.

And, Facebook's groups are fucking retarded. Yeah, if I feel like wasting a lot of time on custom settings, I can control access to various things. It's difficult to use, it's not intuitive and it doesn't change the fact that the entire website is built around the notion that I want to share EVERYTHING with EVERYONE.

You can fiddle with those settings all you want. Every month or two Facebook changes it's policies and all your privacy settings get screwed up anyways.

 

[Duder1no]

Facebook's privacy policies suck, I will give Google+ a try.

 

[1LIR]

I got an email for one and at the time thought it was more junk from Google so I deleted it. Wonder if I contact them that they might resend? I doubt it! :/

 

[cheezy321]

Lol google+ will take over facebook.

Right guys, keep on dreaming.

 

[Bignate603]

I don't want it to take over facebook. I want to the couple people that I actually interact with to move over to google+ and all the idiots that friend every possible acquaintance can stay on facebook.

 

[nonameo]

aahhh!!! I want google+!!!!! invite me!

 

[Glitchny]

Right and with thinking like that nothing new would ever beat an established product... which has only happened countless times.

Maybe it wont, maybe it will, but to dismiss something just because there is competition is naive.

 

[TridenT]

aahhh!!! I want google+!!!!! invite me!

Even if you got invited you won't get in. It's closed right now. I got invited but I don't have the option of joining.

Not sure why would anybody would invite you to anything

 

[Bill Brasky]

Facebook is getting so bad. They always make large, swooping changes to their website without any regard to how the users feel about it. I'm ready to jump ship as soon as possible.

This. And privacy controls suck.

This is what pisses me off. When they make privacy changes, the default settings are for completely open accounts.

Ya - they own you and do what they want. You aren't a paying customer, so, they don't care.

awesome, i logged onto G+ today and found....1 new status update.

integration into gApps is sick though.

Now that would be the FB killer moment imho. If you could post to, and read status updates from, and otherwise interact with your FB contacts through G+, without the need whatsoever to log into FB, then FB would be seriously threatened.

I doubt somehow that it would be feasible though.
