Elephant in the room


Let's do this, lets talk about Google Plus. It has just recently been in the news. Now I am a person who is not afraid to try new things when Gmail was in testing phase and fortunately somehow I got an invite for it. I tried it out, even though at that time YahooMail was the sh*t. I am not saying Yahoo has failed to succeed but Gmail is very popular now. Then came MySpace, FaceBook, Twitter, Google Buzz(yes its still alive even though I am unaware of its purpose) and Orkut, which was initially Google's answer to FaceBook (epic fail) and now comes Google Plus.

In all honesty I am glad something new came up. I know people hate how we have all this social networking websites and many people have account on all of them (weirdos...kidding i am one of those people) but to be honest I was getting bored on my social networking front seriously as much as FaceBook was innovating itself (seriously many times i opened my FB and it looked completely different than yesterday) it wasn't keeping me entertained. I opened up an Google Plus (lets call it Gplus) so I opened up my Gplus account when I got an invite. I like the interface, its clean and there are some innovative stuff here. I am sure Google will find its way to clutter it but for everyone who hates too much stuff on their pages I hope they have an option to stay clutter free.

I was talking to few people and I got a mixed response for my question, which was "What do you guy's think about Google Plus?". Some say its cool and some didn't bother they were happy with FaceBook. Well its true we have so many social networking websites on the web that we will soon need a place to store all these usernames and passwords...oh wait we have that already.

Anyways Google Plus is still in testing phase though I think at the moment anyone can sign in if you can't leave your e-mail in the comment box below and I will send you an invite.
