Google plus versus facebook

Got a google plus invite from a friend today..As i went through the site i came across many pros and cons...
For instance i lykd d fact dat photos can be uploaded much faster...however the photos that are uplaoded can also be seen by friends of friends....dont want unwanted people seeing ma profile!!but have no choice....=<
The feature "hangout" seemed lyk a gud idea...:)...In this feature upto 10 people can chat together.....That is a good feature if compared with facebook...
Also didnt understand the plus 1 concept!!it doesnt even make sense! y wud i wanna "plus 1" sumthing wen i might as well 'like' it!!:P:P....Lastly,what is a social networking site which doesnt have a wall??What if i wanna wish some1 for his or her birthday?According to the current design I'll either have to post it on my wall or wait for the person to come online!

The fundamental premise that Google Plus is being marketed on, is the ability to share updates (and other things) selectively with only certain parts of your network (called Circles). Now Facebook allows for many of the same features but some of their privacy settings are rather rusty. What’s more, the past year has seen a few Facebook breaches and lapses which probably makes this feature of Google Plus, a definite, well, plus.there’s no other particularly interesting feature over Facebook. There is an easy way to integrate Twitter and Flickr but again, these can be done on Facebook with apps.


Hmmmm....i guess it's too early to comment....considering the fact that this is only a trial version..Maybe i'm even wrong about certain concepts and shouldn't be so sceptic about it soo soon...After all i hadn't lykd facebook that much in the beginning either!!But now i am so addicted to it that i can't go a single day without Facebook!!:P:P

  2. gud post :)
    bt i will b always wid google no matter wat happen.. :P

    so many misconceptions :P
    first, if u upload a pic it does nt show to friend of friend, u can select d circle u wanna share..

    second,+1 is same as like it.... bt in a diff way dats all.. lyk u hd scrapbook on orkut, corresponding to dat u hv wall on fb... so dis will also catch on as u go along :P

    third,for circles its very easy if you want to change the filter of ur post every now and then... u cannot do dat on fb...

    nw for fb...
    did u see the new sidbar on fb... it sticks over der is no option to close it.. u hv to go to settings and then hide it...

    fb is full of ads and stuff..

    i m nw addicted to g+.. i go on fb sometyms... hey on g+ u can even integrate with fb.. if you are using chrome then there is an extension-->> google+facebook... try that one and u can see the home page of fb in g+ :)))
