What are your opinions?
I joined yesterday, only because my friend sent a request. I want to see where this is going seeing as it's only early days yet.
Personally I think it looks like a Facebook/Twitter hybrid.

What is a Google+?
Google realized that FaceBook and Twitter were competing with Google for "Website people spend the most time at"; since Google's big product is ads, they want to make Google the one site you spend your time at.

Not sure if I'll join though... At the moment I'm a bit too addicted to Tumblr.

I don't know why, but those things just don't appeal to me.
Every gun that is made,
every warship launched,
every rocket fired,
signifies, in the final sense,
a theft
from those who hunger and are not fed,
who are cold and are not clothed.

Ha! Well as long as they don't... actually cross it. But I have a fair bit of info on Facebook anyway so I'm not exactly safe ¬_¬

Schmidt was talking to The Atlantic about the possibility of a Google implant – a chip under your skin that would track you and provide easy web access. That, Schmidt said, was probably over ‘the creepy line’.
However, he followed that by saying: “With your permission you give us more information about you, about your friends, and we can improve the quality of our searches. We don’t need you to type at all. We know where you are. We know where you’ve been. We can more or less know what you’re thinking about.”
Some might argue that that is over the line too but Google will only read your mind “with your permission”, so that’s a relief.

This is the first time I've heard of Google+ and I'm pretty sure I won't be joining. I'm just like you. I don't really like the whole myspace, facebook, twitter thing, but my friends love it.

Oh, I didn't see the link until now. The quote you posted in your previous post was pretty vague when taken out of context.
But, now that I've read it... Yeah, that does sound creepy, almost Orwellian.

Though I hope they don't force you to if you have a Youtube account. I remember they once forced you to link your Youtube account to a google account if you wanted to keep using it...they could try that.

Because of that I won't join, I already lost my Youtube account... so I have no ambition to support that Google+-thing. Besides, I have a not so active Facebook account and that's even to much...
I really wounder how long it will take google to control really the whole internet

That's why I got into FB as well. I was missing out on so much at my old job because all the people there were on FB and did everything through that. They would forget about us non-FB people.

Yeah XP This is the one reason I'm inclined to get facebook, I'm completely out of the loop with my friends most of the time and people talk about events with the details being put on facebook and how they're surprised I didn't have facebook to know about it
Oddly enough I did make a Facebook account once, my uni was doing an easter egg hunt and to get clues you had to join them, so I made a fake email for it.
What can I say I love my creme eggs.

Yeah, I'm not too into the whole thing of having computer chips implanted under my skin. Too much like all those sci-fi movies and whatnot.
Right now, however, I'm not aboard the Google+ train; still a Twitter/Facebook guy. (Though I hardly use either of those, really.)

I'm quite skeptical since it's Goo-I'll-get-as-much-info-from-you-gle, but for now I'll wait and see how it turns out. I don't think I'll have any use of it though.
I'm not the type to share my personal info on the net and I don't have FB (no offense to those who did), so I didn't find it interesting. Besides that, CR and Skype already got me preoccupied, I don't think I'll be able to handle more. Just like my MySpace account.

I agree about the circles thing though, seems stupid and yes it does look like a cheap version of Facebook.
I wonder what other stuff they'll add to it soon..

It reminds me of everything I used to like about Facebook before they kept screwing up the layout: simple, clean, easy to use. I don't care about games, polls and all that other garbage, so I'm glad there's nothing like that in G+(..for now anyway). I just get my info, post what I want, and that's it. Nothing inbetween.
And Circles are pretty much the best thing. I like that I can categorize my friends so that I don't have to share EVERY status post, pictures and so on to EVERYbody. Any "drama" caused by that will simply be because people get butthurt too easily. It's a really nice form of keeping my privacy while still being able to talk about and show whatever to people that are relevant to the topic.
