Social Networks; The Realm of Vacuous Mingling

Don't use this faggot ass medium, problem solved.

I actually enjoy FB in moderation. It has helped me connect with a few great friends from back in the day and it's helped me make a few in the present. Too many people go way too far with it, but you'll have that with everything.

got an invite and I am on Google+ now as well ... just sayin'

 

[Ars Magna]

What is Google+? I saw people on FB talking about invites and such.

 

[lurch70]

its the new Facebook ... still in Beta ... invite only.

so far it seems completely unecessary. same shitty features. I see nothing different. have to get used to it for the biz though.

The difference is that FB doesn't steel your information hand it out to corporations and such nearly as much as Google+ is/is going to. At least that's the rumor on DA STREETZ. But, I have an invite so I'll probably give it a go anyways.

I heard Ultimate Metal is the go-to social networking site

If it weren't for the massive amount of hot chicks here, I'd say you were dead wrong.

Yeah, if they leave, then it's all over

wat

 

[Vittra]

wat is right. Complete opposite of the actual truth, and it takes very basic research to figure that out.

 

[lurch70]

all I know is that the instantly wanted to tap into ALL my Picasa photo albums. luckily all are market private already.

I can see how G+ can expand the Google world fast though.

One thing that would be great is the ability to SEARCH past postings of your own and friends. Facebook can't do that.
and the ability to bring back old discussions on top of your posts if you want to ... similar to threads here.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Facebook kind of does that, if you find the post first.

Besides the fact that by default, for much of the world, Google has access to (now) their social networking, email, photo storage, file storage, etc.

Facebook only has what you put on Facebook. Which for me is next to nothing.


I suppose you are right about sharing it with others, I guess. Not that Google needs to share it at all to use it.

if a computer system is ever going to become sentient and take over the world, google is it

skynet's got nothing on this shit

Welcome to the club my fine motorcycling friend

Oh hey, I've been meaning to ask: was that you who has B&W 683s?

 

[Vittra]

Why thank you, it feels pretty damn good to be part of such an exclusive club.

That was indeed me with the 683s good sir.
